MAGAZINE PNG Air
Thank you for choosing to fly with the people’s airline. We are fast approaching the end of 2024 and there have been a lot of uphill battles, but that comes with the industry we are in. We are doing our best to manoeuvre the hurdles that hinder our daily operations, while at the same time ensuring we deliver to the best of our ability without compromising safety. At PNG Air the staff continue to work tirelessly to ensure we get you, our loyal and valued customers, to your intended destinations safely and on time. We appreciate your choice to travel with PNG Air if you are a regular traveller. For those of you who are travelling with us for the first time, we hope your travel experience with us was nothing short of spectacular. I would also like to acknowledge the support of our travelling mine workers from Newcrest Mining and St Barbara Mining, both in the New Ireland Province, and also K92 Mining in the Ramu Valley. As we near the tail end of the year, PNG Air will continue to strive to do what we do best – that is, connecting our people by transporting them safely from where they are, to where they need to be. On behalf of the board, management and staff of PNG Air, we thank you, our passengers, for choosing PNG Air. We look forward to welcoming you on board when you next travel with us as we continue to connect Papua New Guinea. Enjoy your flight.
