Air Niugini has embarked on a program to enhance its role as a leader in aviation and transport in general in the Pacific region.
Chairman of Air Niugini Sir Frederick Reiher revealed this when officially opening the 62nd Association of South Pacific Airlines(ASPA) annual conference in Kokopo, East New Britain last Wednesday.
Sir Frederick said with the support of the Prime Minister and the National Government, Air Niugini’s strategy was consistent to ensure PNG strengthened and broadened its leadership role in the region.
He said this will be further enhanced with the staging of the Pacific Islands Leaders Forum in Port Moresby in September, coinciding with the 40th anniversary of the country’s Independence.
More than 70 members attended the conference.
The meeting was held from July 1-2 and included chief executive officers, managing directors and senior representatives of all airlines in the South Pacific.
