Airline industry

Most international airlines who fly into Australia are likely to accept only vaccinated passengers, with larger carriers now considering whether it is logistically and commercially viable to sell tickets to unvaccinated travellers. Some carriers have had their allocation of unvaccinated passengers capped at zero.

This has been made known after the Registrar of Companies certified the change of name of the Company from Airlines of Papua New Guinea Limited to PNG Air Limited on July 8, 2016.

PNG Air operates ATR 72-600 and Dash 8 aircraft, with 470 flights each week servicing 22 ports throughout PNG, carrying over 400,000 passengers each year.

Meanwhile the Company have also announced that the first issue of shares under the PNG Air’s Employee Share Scheme was made to long-serving employees this week.
