The landowners are demanding the National Government to pay K15 million in outstanding land compensation or they will shut the airport permanently.
Spokesperson Barthimias Kaipa said for so long, their land compensation requests have been falling on deaf ears since 2006, when they lodged their claim.
He said their claims had been processed by government agencies and were paid to illegitimate landowners.
They have presented their petition to Girua Airport manager Eki Wally on behalf of Minister for Civil Aviation Alfred Manasseh last Friday.
