The airport was closed after a report from the Royal Air Force claimed there was an underground cavity at the Tari runway.
It is also understood that Air Niugini ceased its flights due to security reasons.
National Airports Corporation quality assurance manager, John Bogona, told this newsroom that hopefully by this week, flights to Tari will resume.
He said a report will be given to Air Niugini today regarding the status of the airport.
The Hela Provincial Government is paying for all the costing involved in the inspection.
