Dash 8 to operate

The National Business

ALL Air Niugini flights to Kavieng airport, New Ireland, will now be operated by Dash 8 aircraft.
The airline in a statement on Friday said this was due to runway maintenance work being carried out by the National Airports Corporation (NAC).
The Dash 8 operations started on Friday and will continue for the rest of the month.
“Air Niugini will be operating five weekly services to Kavieng on Dash 8 aircraft on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays, with flights via Rabaul on certain days,” the airline said.
“Air Niugini regrets the inconvenience this may cause to the travelling public, however the situation is beyond the airline’s control.
“We expect to return to our usual Fokker jet services by the end of this month.”
