Cape Gloucester Airport is an airport in West New Britain Province, Papua New Guinea. (IATA: CGC). The airport is a single runway general aviation facility, at the present time, there is no scheduled commercial service to the airport.
Construction of Cape Gloucester Airport was originally began in 1942 by the Australians. When the area was seized by the Japanese, it was improved into a two-runway airfield. Later, the area was liberated by the United States Marines on 30 December 1943. Three American aviation engineer battalions were sent to the airfield where they found their work impeded by heavy rains. Marine L-4 aircraft (military versions of the Piper Cub) began operating from a road near the airfield as early as 2 January, and other aircraft made emergency landings. The available engineering forces planned to have the airfield operational for fighters by 1 February but American aircraft did not start operating from the strip until February 1944, but moving out by the end of March.
