LMG is the airport code for Lamassa, a small settlement and airstrip in the south of New Ireland, one of the island provinces of Papua New Guinea, in the Bismarck Archipelago. It lies on or near the coast in the southern part of the long, narrow island of New Ireland, in a remote area of rainforest, plantations, reef and small villages, home to traditional communities. This is not a developed tourist destination and has minimal services, of interest mainly for its remote island setting and the cultures of the region, in a part of the country known for its beautiful coastline and traditional customs. Lamassa is reached chiefly by light aircraft to its airstrip and by road and boat along the island, with the provincial capital Kavieng to the north. The climate is hot, humid and tropical, with heavy rainfall for much of the year.
