Balimo

Over 120 airstrips to restore

RAA CEO, John Bromley, said this in Western Province recently.

Bromley was in the Province to welcome the first flight into Balimo, in Middle Fly, which had been closed for five years.

Bromley said Western Province’s unique geographical composition of vast flood plains, rivers and mountains made it one of the most difficult areas to access.

He said like many other rural communities, the need for air services was crucial.
