Kikori Airport
Kikori Airport is an airport in Kikori, Papua New Guinea (IATA: KRI, ICAO: AYKK). Believed to be originally built during the Second World War, it fell into disuse. In about 1965 work began to upgrade it due to the closure of the Catalina flying-boat service. The airstrip, tar sealed, was opened about 1967. By 1999, the bitumen had been largely eroded (probably due to the high rainfall) and had been covered with Marsden Matting. It was still in service as late as 2002.

gollark: What? Why is that BETTER?
gollark: Anyway, *fine*, you can send me your browsing data and I won't publish it, just store it on the osmarks.tk™ archival servers.
gollark: Then why trust Google, a giant megacorporate which is also likely selling it on, to not do bad things?
gollark: So you admit it *could* be used for bad things?
gollark: We'll then publish it in 6 to 8 business days.
