Ground Transportation

Last updated: Jul 20, 2025
Taxis

Taxis and private hire vehicles are generally available at the airport to meet arriving flights. It is highly recommended to agree on the fare with the driver before beginning your trip, as vehicles are typically not metered. Arranging an airport transfer in advance through your hotel in Popondetta is often a more reliable option.

Rental Cars

There are no major international car rental company desks at Girua Airport. Car hire may be possible through local providers or guesthouses in Popondetta, but these services are limited and must be arranged well in advance of your arrival. Driving conditions can be challenging, so this is recommended only for experienced drivers.

Public Transportation

There is no formal public bus or train system serving Girua Airport. The main form of local transport is the Public Motor Vehicle (PMV), which are privately-owned minibuses or trucks. While you may be able to catch a PMV on the main road near the airport, they do not run on a fixed schedule and can be difficult for visitors to navigate.
