LAE is a code associated with Lae, the second-largest city in Papua New Guinea and the capital of Morobe Province, on the country's northeast coast. The city is served by Nadzab Airport, which lies inland in the Markham Valley some way from the centre. Lae is the industrial and commercial heart of the region and the country's main cargo port, and it is the starting point of the Highlands Highway, the vital road that climbs inland to the populous Highlands. For visitors, Lae is known for its pleasant Botanical Gardens, which also contain a moving war cemetery from the Second World War, when the area saw heavy fighting. It is more a working city and a gateway than a resort. Lae is reached by flights into Nadzab Airport and by the Highlands Highway and coastal roads. The climate is hot, humid and tropical, with heavy rainfall.
