PORT MORESBY DOMESTIC AIRPORT TERMINAL EXPANSION REACHES 55 PER CENT COMPLETION
The Port Moresby International Airport (PMIA) Domestic Terminal Building Extension and Reconfiguration Project have reached approximately 55 per cent completion, with construction works remaining on schedule.
According to the National Airports Corporation (NAC), Phase One of the project commenced in June 2026 and is expected to be completed in April 2027.
The Domestic Terminal Building extension is currently 31 per cent complete, with ongoing works focused on roof ceiling and soffit installation, demolition, floor and wall finishes, toilet fittings and fixtures, and essential service installations.
Meanwhile, the relocation of the PX Kumul Lounge from the Domestic Departure Lounge to the former Charter Terminal is also progressing well and is expected to be completed by November 15, 2026.
The new lounge facility, located between the Domestic and International Terminal buildings, is approximately 99 per cent complete.
Final interior fit-outs, ICT installations and furniture placement are currently underway.
Once completed, the upgraded facility will provide improved amenities and a dedicated space for lounge patrons while creating additional seating space for passengers in the Domestic Departure Lounge.
NAC says the project is part of its ongoing commitment to modernising airport infrastructure and preparing PMIA to meet growing passenger demand while maintaining high standards of safety, security and service delivery.
