AIH is the airport code for the airstrip at Aiambak, a small settlement in the Western Province of Papua New Guinea, in the vast lowland country of the Fly river, in the far southwest of the country. It lies in a remote region of rivers, swamp, forest and floodplain, drained by the great Fly, one of the largest rivers of New Guinea, in an area of scattered villages far from any town. Aiambak is a modest local centre rather than a tourist destination, one of many isolated communities in this watery, forested corner of Papua New Guinea, dependent on its airstrip and on river transport. The Western Province is one of the least developed and hardest to reach parts of the country. Aiambak is reached by small aircraft to its airstrip and by boat along the rivers, so any journey here needs local arrangements. The climate is hot, humid and very wet, with heavy rainfall.
