‘’As a company, we are proud to continue our partnership with Digicel PNG Foundation for the second year as the official carrier for the Men Of Honour Awards. It is also very good for our employees to see the work that they do every day being translated into helping address violence in the country, and to feel a sense of pride to be part of a movement in addressing an important issue,” said Pitt. 

As the official airline partner of the Dabaris Rugby Club, the airline provides flights and logistical support for the team to their games outside of Port Moresby.

With the submission of large numbers of entries across the country, a winner has been selected and they are brothers, Humene and Heni Walo.
The brothers from Central Province took a chance when they saw their opportunity with news of the promotion wasting no time in starting on their winning track. 

Humene said they visited the PNG Air website and got all the information regarding the criteria of the competition then started on the song.
“Basically, it is the story of PNG Air from Milne Bay all the way through,” said Humene.

The airline has been supporting the Dabaris since 2019, from when the club was formed into the competition. The Dabaris are representatives and ambassadors of Central Province.

With the development pathways established for up and coming players in the province and a strong following of fans and supporters, PNG Air is proud to support the rugby league franchise as it grows in the PNGNRL Competition.

In celebrating its 35th Anniversary this year, the airline has launched a song comp to commemorate its history in PNG. The competition is open to all aspiring and established musicians who will be required to record and submit a lyrical or instrumental song that captures the story and history of the airline.

The song is required to be a minute long and should highlight and celebrate the airline’s heritage from Milne Bay Airlines, to Airlines PNG to PNG Air today, and also put the customer at the heart of the airlines.
