Air Niugini Dash 8 services to Tokua airport, Rabaul East New Britain Province, have been deferred due to bad weather.
The National Airports Corporation (NAC) has advised that the maintenance works on Rabaul airport, which were supposed to have commenced this evening (February 21st) have now been delayed until March 07th.
“As a result, Air Niugini will continue its normal Fokker aircraft schedule to Rabaul until March 7th,” stated the airline.
“The commencement of works on the airport runway cannot be carried out now due to continuous rainfall in the area.
“Once the airport works commence, Air Niugini will be operating Dash 8s to Rabaul instead of Fokker aircraft. We will keep you updated as further information is received.”
