Air Niugini increases flights to Nadzab

AIR Niugini has increased flights to Nadzab airport in Lae following the completion of work on the runway by the National Airports Corporation (NAC).
The airline in a statement yesterday said the increase in flights would provide “a new level of comfort” to customers travelling to and from Lae.
It also allows Air Niugini to increase capacity during peak periods.
The airline operated its first Boeing 737 flight into Nadzab airport on Sept 15.
The B737 aircraft will now become a regular sight at Nadzab.
Air Niugini’s general manager commercial and distribution Paul Abbot said: “Lae is the largest transport and industrial hub in the Momase region, and a key center to the national economy as a whole.
“The Boeing 737-800 can carry up to 144 passengers per flight (16 Business class and 128 Economy).
It will greatly assist in meeting demand during the busiest times of the year, offering the fastest, smoothest, and most comfortable flights for our customers.”
