Ground Transportation

Last updated: Jul 20, 2025
Taxis

Taxis are available for hire outside the airport terminal. The journey to Lae city is approximately 45 minutes to an hour. For safety and a fixed price, it is highly recommended to pre-arrange an airport transfer or taxi service through your hotel.

Rental Cars

Car rental services are available, with companies like Avis and Hertz operating in the area. It is essential to book your vehicle in advance, as rental desks may not be permanently staffed. Representatives typically meet pre-booked customers upon arrival. A 4WD vehicle is often recommended.

Public Transportation

There is no formal, scheduled public bus system. The primary form of local public transit is via Public Motor Vehicles (PMVs), which are privately-owned buses and vans. This option is not generally recommended for visitors due to safety concerns and lack of a fixed schedule. The most reliable alternative is a pre-booked shuttle service, which many hotels in Lae offer to their guests.

A pity the old Lae city airport was closed.
