Thank you for choosing to fly with the people’s airline.
While 2022 was a big year for the airline as we celebrated 35 years of connecting PNG, 2023 is all about business growth and continuity. We continue to operate scheduled passenger, charter and cargo flights as normal, servicing over 20 destinations every week with our mixed fleet of Dash 8-100 and ATR 72-600 turboprop aircraft. The beginning of the year has seen us renew long-standing partnerships with organisations that we have supported. We have also fostered new relationships with other businesses to further expand our reach and contribution to PNG. Our subsidised packages with the PNG Tourism Promotion Authority and travel operators around the country continue to roll out, with new destinations added to give travellers even more choice. We have received many positive comments about these deals, which present savings of up to K1000 per person and encourage local travellers to book and explore more of our country – Papua New Guinea. Our social media channels are regularly updated with this information. On behalf of the board and management team, we appreciate your choice to fly PNG Air, whether you are a regular traveller or if this is your first flight. We once again acknowledge the support given by our travelling mine workers such as Newcrest Mining on Lihir, St Barbara Mining in Simberi and K92 Mining in the Ramu Valley as we also try to support their needs for FIFO (fly-in, fly-out) services both within PNG and connecting abroad.
