Old airport
The former airport of Lae was right in the city center by the sea and was abandoned in favor of the current airport due to the lack of expandability (the runway was approx. 1200 meters long and the buildings were very close to the airport). One of the taxiways was expanded into a fairly wide road, the remaining taxiways almost completely demolished, only the majority of the old runway and parts of the old apron remained and have not yet served any new function.
