A lot of changes have taken place over the past few months as the airline slowly works on refreshing our brand and adding more aircraft to our fleet. We have been working very hard preparing for these changes so I take my hat off to the hardworking staff who have tirelessly worked around the clock to prepare for all the new things to come at PNG Air. We see these changes as an opportunity to look at the services we offer to you, our customers, and determine how we can better position the airline for tomorrow and beyond. From a customer perspective, we are also working on introducing a range of initiatives designed to make your travelling experience with the people’s airline easier, more convenient and more rewarding. The airline’s focus is on our customers and your needs – which are the driving force guiding the decisions we make in all aspects of our business. While many things are changing, quite a few remain the same. Our staff have been our greatest strength and this will continue. Throughout the brand refresh process, our staff have been involved in helping to shape the strategy, and their input will continue to be a fundamental part of the business to ensure our service and the products we offer meet your needs. While more aircraft and a brand refresh are major steps forward for us, our strength will always come from our people. Their flexibility and desire to provide the best possible service will be the point of difference for the airline as we continue to further improve our service delivery and customer focus. We appreciate your choice to fly with PNG Air. Whether you are a first-time traveller or one of our regular passengers, we hope your travel experience with us is nothing short of amazing. I would also like to acknowledge the ongoing support of our contract partners, Newmont and St Barbara mining, both in New Ireland Province, and also K92 Mining in Morobe Province. As always, PNG Air will continue to strive to satisfy our customer expectations of transporting you safely from where you are to where you need to be. We look forward to welcoming you on board soon as we continue to connect Papua New Guinea.
