Kavieng Airport code (KVG)

Kavieng Airport is located in Kavieng, New Ireland, Papua New Guinea and is located approximately 1km away from the town centre. Originally constructed by Australian Commandos as a single runway, it was later taken and occupied by the Japanese on 23 Jan 1942, going on to expand and improve it. On 17 Jun, 2016 an agreement was signed with the New Ireland Provincial Government to initiate the Kavieng Airport Project, intended to upgrade the site to an International Airport. To do this the existing runway will be extended 3.4m in length and 365.67m in width to meet international standards.
