Airline to operate three special flights from POM to Sydney

DUE to the high demand for Sydney flights, Air Niugini will be operating three special flights from Port Moresby to Sydney, using the Boeing 767 aircraft, according to the airline.
The flights, PX 4001/4002 will be on Nov 28, Dec 5 and Dec 12.
“These are additional flights with Air Niugini maintaining its usual weekly scheduled Sydney service on Mondays. Continuation of additional flights beyond Dec 12 will be reviewed depending on demand,” the airline said in a statement.
“Meanwhile, PX 003/PX 004 from Port Moresby to Brisbane on the three dates mentioned, have been cancelled with passengers being moved to the next available flights.
“We also wish to remind our passengers that New South Wales has already announced quarantine free travel for international arriving passengers from Nov 1.
“At present, only fully vaccinated passengers will be approved for uplift to Sydney.
“Unvaccinated Australian citizens and permanent residents can return to Australia on PX003 to Brisbane, but will require 14 days of hotel quarantine on arrival.
“Travel is initially limited to Australian citizens, permanent residents and special visa holders.
“We do expect this to extend to business travellers and tourists soon after. Parents, or parents-in-law of Australian citizens and permanent residents, who are fully vaccinated are now eligible to apply for approval to travel to Australia.
“Travel is expected to open to Papua New Guineans and other nationalities planning on travelling to Australia, for work, schooling, leisure or to catch-up with family or friends in late December.
“Air Niugini continues to operate six flights per week to Brisbane, two flights to Sydney, four flights per week to Singapore, twice weekly to Manila, and twice weekly to Hong Kong.
“Flights to other locations remain suspended due to international border restrictions.”
