The notice was issued by state aviation entity, NiuSky Pacific Limited.
The affected aerodromes include Losuia, Guasopa and Misima.
In response to this notice, the Member for Samarai-Murua Open Electorate, Isi Henry Leonard made known his intentions for his office to take on the provincial government’s responsibility of ensuring the Misima aerodrome remains fully operational.
The member emphasized his decision by stating that he is aware that production at Lihir Gold Mine drops by twenty-five percent when workers engaged by Newcrest from Misima do not go to work.
