Transport in Port Moresby

Port Moresby is served by Jacksons International Airport, the country’s largest and busiest airport, welcoming both international and domestic travellers. From the airport, visitors typically rely on taxis, or pre-arranged private transport, as the city does not have a public rail or metro system.

Transport across Port Moresby can vary in reliability due to the city’s geography and infrastructure. Public bus transportation is primarily operated by Public Motor Vehicles, which are individually owned operators providing different bus services, routes and stops located throughout major areas, they generally run from early morning to late evening. Scooters or bicycles are an alternative form of transport for shorter distances, walking is also a viable choice, depending on the weather in Port Moresby. For business travellers, the safest and most efficient option is often private hire. Many of our serviced apartments also offer secure on-site parking, making car hire an option if you prefer flexibility and independence.

Port Moresby has a tropical savanna climate, with warm temperatures year-round. The dry season runs from May to October, offering sunny days and lower humidity. The wet season, from November to April, brings higher humidity and occasional heavy rainfall or storms, although the city typically receives less rain than many other parts of Papua New Guinea.
