airports

This year the airline has had to modify its operations to accommodate failing runways in Mt Hagen and Rabaul. The runway in Mt. Hagen is being repaired for the second time this year.

This means that Air Niugini is unable to operate a conventional jet service to the city – which represents one of the busiest sectors in PNG.

The Global Navigational Satellite System (GNSS) project delivers new instrument approach landing charts and enables satellite-based navigation at up to 45 airports and airstrips.

The project cost K8.1 million fully funded by the Government of Australia.

This satellite based technology will provide the aviation industry with enhanced safety and operational standards.

It will contribute greatly to socio-economic and environmental benefits for communities in PNG.
