Despite New Irelands remote location, it is relatively
easy to get here. All three modes of transport
air, land and sea play an important role in getting
to New Ireland as well as getting around this diverse
province.
Air Transport
The National Flag Carrier, Air Niugini operate flights
from Sydney, Brisbane and Cairns in Australia, and from
Manila, Honiara, Hong Kong, Singapore and Tokyo, directly
into Port Moresby. Air Niugini flights are code-shared
with Qantas.
Airlines PNG fly from Brisbane and Cairns directly
to Port Moresby.
The main provincial airport is located in Kavieng,
only 2 minutes out of town. There are daily flights
from Port Moresby to Kavieng with Air Niugini, as well
as flights from Rabaul to Kavieng (via Lihir) 6 days
a week with Airlink.
There is also an airport in Namatanai, towards the
southern end of New Ireland. Airlink currently flies
from Rabaul to Namatanai once a week.
Most days, the flights from Port Moresby to Kavieng
stop over in at least one other destination in Papua
New Guinea on the way to or from Kavieng.
It is also possible to charter planes or helicopters
from other areas of Papua New Guinea directly into Kavieng,
with Hevilift, Tropicair, Islands Nationwide, Heli Niugini
and Niugini Helicopters.
