Link PNG advises flight suspensions to Popondetta

 Link PNG yesterday advised that its flights to Popondetta yesterday afternoon and this morning were been suspended.

The decision to suspend flights was made following reports that a wet crossing or temporary passage enabling vehicles to safely cross a river had been washed away by continuous heavy rain last night.

Flight PX856 yesterday afternoon and PX852 scheduled for this morning have been suspended. 

The operations of PX 856/857 scheduled for this afternoon would depend on whether or not the flood continues. Link PNG said in a statement that it would continue to monitor the situation and advise as to when Popondetta flights would resume operations.

“We regret the inconvenience caused, however the situation is beyond the airline’s control,” the airline said in a statement released yesterday.

Link PNG operates daily flights to Popondetta, except for every Monday and Friday where it operates two flights. 

Link PNG is a subsidiary company of our national flag carrier, Air Niugini Limited.
