Mount Hagen Kagamuga Airport

Mount Hagen Kagamuga Airport (AYMH) is a medium airport in Mount Hagen, Papua New Guinea. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code AYMH or IATA code HGU. It sits in Oceania.

Mount Hagen Kagamuga Airport is a regional commercial airport that doubles as a busy private-aviation base. Operators benefit from full instrument approaches and an FBO infrastructure scaled for regular jet traffic, often without the congestion of the nearest major hub.

Mount Hagen Kagamuga Airport sits at 5,388 ft above sea level. Hot-and-high conditions can meaningfully reduce takeoff performance in summer — planners should factor density altitude into payload and fuel decisions.

Local operations run on Pacific/Port_Moresby. Scheduled airline service is light enough that it rarely interferes with charter movements, though planners should still expect to coordinate with the handling agent for international turnarounds.
