Kairik Airstrip is a high-altitude airstrip serving the Porgera gold mine in Enga Province, Papua New Guinea, sitting at 7,303 feet above sea level in the rugged interior highlands. It offers a single hard-surfaced, lit runway aligned 05/23, reflecting its role as a remote industrial support strip rather than a public aerodrome.

For a simulator pilot the field is notable chiefly for its extreme elevation and mountain setting, which demand careful attention to density altitude and terrain on approach and departure.
