Port Moresby Airport (POM), also known as Jacksons International Airport, serves Port Moresby in Papua New Guinea's National Capital District. It is approximately 8 km from the city. The airport has a Domestic Terminal for journeys within the country and an International Terminal for overseas flights. Choose the terminal for your itinerary before arranging a drop-off or an onward city transfer.

Domestic and international terminals at Port Moresby Airport

Choosing your departure terminal

The Domestic Terminal serves journeys within Papua New Guinea; the International Terminal serves overseas travel. Use the terminal shown on your e-ticket and keep the operating airline's check-in instructions available. When someone is taking you to POM, name the terminal as well as the airport so that the driver can plan the correct drop-off.

Planning a connection

A journey involving both an overseas flight and a domestic flight uses different terminal areas. Before leaving your arrival area, ask your airline about baggage collection and the check-in steps for the next flight. For separately booked tickets, confirm those arrangements with each airline and leave time to move to the departure terminal, rather than treating the connection as one check-in.

Taxi transfers from Port Moresby Airport

Premium airport taxis serve passengers using the Domestic and International terminals. Meet-and-greet services are available at information desks inside the terminals, with designated pickup and drop-off facilities. Ask at the information desk for the pickup arrangement that matches your arrival terminal, then keep your destination address ready for the driver.

Advance booking is available through approved online booking platforms. If you arrange a transfer before flying, provide the flight details and the correct terminal, and agree how you will meet the driver after arrival. For a return journey to POM, confirm the terminal on the e-ticket before giving the driver your drop-off instructions. A city transfer should be planned around the full address you need, rather than the city name alone.

Lounges and facilities at Port Moresby Airport

Lounges in each terminal

POM has lounges in both the Domestic and International terminals. Access depends on the relevant ticket, membership or lounge-pass conditions. Check which lounge fits your departure terminal and eligibility before planning to enter. A lounge entitlement for one journey does not automatically cover another flight or a companion, so confirm the conditions when arranging a visit.

Food and duty-free shopping

Food and dining are available at the airport, including a restaurant in the International Terminal. Choose somewhere within the area you can access and allow time for any remaining check-in or passenger-processing steps. The International Terminal also has duty-free shopping. Check the purchasing conditions that apply to your itinerary before selecting goods, particularly when you have another flight after leaving Papua New Guinea.

Currency exchange

Currency exchange is available at Jacksons International Airport. Review the displayed rate and any fees before completing a transaction. If you need cash for a city transfer, make that part of the arrival plan so that you can discuss payment with your transport provider before setting off.

Lost items and missing checked baggage

For property lost at POM, ask airport customer service or aviation security staff for help. If a checked bag has not arrived, contact your airline's baggage team and keep the baggage tag and booking details available. Distinguishing a personal item left in the terminal from a checked-baggage problem helps you approach the right team.
