Date: 2023-12-11

The $171.5 million Civil Aviation Development Investment Program (CADIP) Phase 2 is upgrading five national airports for better safety and security, improve the power supply at Port Moresby International Airport, and enhance navigation and weather services by installing a standard automatic weather observation system.

This innovative program is boosting economic and social development in PNG and improving connectivity in the country and driving growth in businesses and jobs.

The program is piloting the upgrading of rural airstrips in four locations: Finschhafen, Hayfield, Jacquinot Bay, and Tapini. Civil aviation institutions in PNG will be strengthened through the provision of training on project management and gender inclusiveness.

The program builds on the successes of the ADB-supported CADIP 1, which was approved in 2009 and targeted sweeping improvements to 22 national airports that serve more than three million people in PNG per year. It also strengthened the safety, accessibility, and reliability of air services, and opened new economic opportunities in regional centers.
