Wewak International Airport, also known as Boram Airport, serves the town of Wewak in East Sepik Province on the northern coast of Papua New Guinea. It offers a single hard-surfaced, lit runway suitable for both light aircraft and regional airline types, and remains an important regional gateway for the Sepik coast despite the loss of its international scheduled services.
Wewak International Airport, historically referred to as Boram Airport, lies on the coast of East Sepik Province and functions as the principal airfield serving the town of Wewak. It is used today by domestic carriers linking the Sepik region with other parts of Papua New Guinea, and its single well-marked runway, coastal setting and straightforward layout make it an approachable destination for the visiting VFR pilot.
The airfield sits at Wewak on the northern coast of Papua New Guinea, in East Sepik Province. Air traffic advisory in the area is provided by Madang Center, with local flight service duties handled under the callsign Wewak Traffic, indicating that the field operates within a broader area of flight information service rather than a dedicated control zone.
Wewak has one physical runway, orientated 10/28, measuring 5,240 feet in length with a hard surface, and both directions are lit.
Pilots should expect ATIS information on 128.2 MHz, with the common traffic advisory frequency (CTAF) on 121.7 MHz under the callsign Wewak Traffic. A flight service station operates on 126.7 MHz, and overall area advisory is provided by Madang Center. There is no ILS installed at the field.
The airfield has long been known locally as Boram Airport, and it once handled international scheduled services, with Air Niugini operating flights to Jayapura in Indonesia until they ceased in June 1996. Since then its role has been confined to domestic operations within Papua New Guinea.
Wewak International Airport continues to see regular domestic airline activity, with Air Niugini serving Madang, Mount Hagen, Port Moresby and Vanimo, and PNG Air operating a service to Mount Hagen. The field retains its lit hard-surface runway and remains the principal air link for the Sepik coast region.
