Tokua Airport

Tokua Airport, opened in the 1960s, is a compact regional airport serving Kokopo and historic Rabaul in East New Britain, Papua New Guinea, with a single small terminal handling domestic traffic. As the main gateway to the province and nearby islands, Tokua is important for travelers heading to volcano sites, beaches and local resorts, yet remains modest in size compared with Papua New Guinea’s major airports. It’s easily accessible by taxi, minibuses and local shuttle services—about a short drive from Kokopo town—and is generally affordable for budget-minded travelers thanks to frequent services from PNG Air and Air Niugini, which operate regular routes rather than large international hubs.
