  "connection_tips": "Poum / Malabou Airport sits at the far north of New Caledonia, where the airports usefulness depends on keeping the local road and boat links in sync with the island flight schedule. There is no urban transport network here, just a village-scale handoff to the coast and the lagoon. The field exists to keep the municipality connected to the rest of the territory.\n\nMost travelers visiting the area are guests of the Malabou Beach Resort and coordinate their transfers directly through the lodge. Ground transport consists of private hotel shuttles and local private hires; the trip to central Poum takes about 15 minutes. A unique connection tip: Poum is a gateway for exploring the spectacular northern lagoons; coordinate your boat transfers with your resort guide in advance.\n\nThe airport is a classic remote lifeline: small, weather-sensitive, and designed to connect the municipality to the rest of the territory. If the aircraft lands, the onward move is usually a lodge transfer, village ride, or coast-side pickup rather than a formal taxi rank. The lagoon and the settlement are the real destinations once the flight is over. The nearest practical handoff is usually a hotel transfer or private car through Malabou or Poum, because the field is small, unscheduled, and set up for local rather than high-volume passenger movement.",

  "terminal_info": "Poum / Malabou Airport (PUV), designated by the ICAO as NWWP, is a remote regional aviation facility serving the municipality of Poum and the northwestern coastal region of New Caledonia. The airport functions as a basic regional landing ground and does not feature a formal commercial passenger terminal building or staffed administrative offices. It acts as a critical infrastructure link for the northern tip of Grande Terre, primarily supporting private charters for guests of the nearby Malabou Beach Resort, essential medical evacuations, and general aviation.\n\nFacilities at the airstrip are extremely minimal and reflect its status as an unattended rural airfield in a tropical maritime environment. The 'terminal' area typically consists of a small, basic shelter or cleared zone used for passenger waiting and baggage coordination, but lacks modern commercial amenities such as retail shops, full-service restaurants, or public restrooms. Travelers and pilots are advised to be completely self-sufficient and to handle all logistical needs, including food and water, in the Poum town center or at the Malabou resort prior to arrival at the field.\n\nThe airfield features a single 3,937-foot (1,200m) grass and soft-surface runway situated at an elevation of approximately 10 feet above sea level. Operationally, the facility is restricted to daylight hours under Visual Flight Rules (VFR) and is primarily used for non-scheduled operations, as regular domestic services typically utilize Koumac Airport (KOC) located 20 miles to the south. Ground transportation is informal, with visitors typically met by resort-provided shuttles or private vehicle transfers arranged in advance to reach the region's diverse white-sand beaches and turquoise lagoons.",
