Airport guide

Nadzab Airport (AYNZ) is a medium airport in Lae, Papua New Guinea. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code AYNZ or IATA code LAE. It sits in Oceania.

Nadzab 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.

Nadzab Airport sits near sea level at 239 ft.

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.
