Buka Island Airport - General Information

General Details Buka Island Airport is situated on the southern end of Buka Island near Buka Passage behind Buka Town and pre-war Chinatown and serves as the primary air gateway into Bougainville.

Beginnings of the airport date back to 1941 when Australian troops constructed gun pits around a primitive airstrip. On 2 January 1942 as Japanese forces approached, Australian troops prepared the airfield for demolition by blowing holes in its runway and placing logs and pipes in order to prevent aircraft landing on it.

Today, Buka Island Airport provides services to small narrow body jets or turboprops. A single storey terminal building contains check-in desks for both airlines that serve this airport.
