Given PNG’s challenging topography and geography, aviation plays a critical role in transporting people goods across the country. The 22 official airports, including the Jacksons International Airport in Port Moresby, are managed and owned by the National Airports Corporation (NAC), while the Civil Aviation and Safety Authority regulates the industry.

Several international shipping lines services PNG’s ports, including Swire, ANL and Maersk. Coastal shipping services are provided by companies such as Bismarck Maritime and Consort Shipping.
