Beantoo,

No need to go back to Port Moresby, drop your passengers off then head just a little further North to Tokua - AYTK
(the replacement airfield for Rabaul).

It has a good sealed runway, plenty of parking on the apron, a control tower, Jet A1 and Avgas (Interoil).
Never had a problem with security, its not raskol country there yet.

The field is regularly serviced by Air Nuigini F100 jets.

It has a GPS RNAV approach.

By prior arrangement you can clear customs and immigration there if you want to give Port Moresby a miss.

Dont fly near Rabaul, volcanic ash is often still emitted.

For nearby accommodation, you can't beat the Rappopo Plantation Resort, run by a couple of Ozzie expats (Brian and Bev).

They will shuttle you to and from the airport.

Look up Rappopo Plantation Resort on the web.
