PNG Air - Overview
1Connecting Major Cities in Papua New Guinea
Established in 1987 as "Milne Bay Air," the airline rebranded to its current name, PNG Air, in November 2015, accompanied by a refreshed logo. Operating out of its hub at Port Moresby, PNG Air serves 22 major cities across Papua New Guinea, solidifying its position as the country's second-largest airline. In addition to passenger services, the airline has expanded its operations in freight transportation and charter flights.
2Transition to Next-Generation ATR Aircraft
PNG Air has initiated a business plan to replace its current fleet of 14 Dash-8 aircraft with new ATR72-600 turboprop planes by 2020. Compared to the Dash-8, the ATR72-600 offers enhanced comfort, improved safety, and greater reliability. The seating capacity increases significantly from 37 to 72 seats, enabling the airline to accommodate more passengers while maintaining high safety standards.
