TLO is the airport code for Tol Airport, serving Tol, a settlement on the island of New Britain in the East New Britain province of Papua New Guinea. New Britain is the largest island of the Bismarck Archipelago, a long, mountainous, volcanic island lying off the northeast coast of the New Guinea mainland, and Tol lies on its southern side, in a region of forest, coast and rugged hills. It is a modest local community rather than a tourist destination, one of many small settlements along the coasts and valleys of this green tropical island, dependent on its airstrip and on coastal boats. New Britain is a wild and beautiful island of rainforest, reefs and active volcanoes. Tol is reached by light aircraft into its airstrip and by sea, so travel needs local arrangements. The climate is hot, humid and tropical, with heavy rainfall for much of the year.
