Link PNG to resume flights to Tari airport

Air Niugini subsidiary Link PNG plans to resume flights to Tari airport in Hela from Sunday, Feb 10.
Air Niugini, in a statement, said these flights were planned to continue until the runway was closed to allow for National Airports Corporation’s Civil Aviation Development Investment Programme (Cadip) to complete works associated with the runway upgrade.
“The Tari airport was closed to Link PNG operations late last year due to long grass and obstacles
such as trees on the take-off area,” it said.
“Link PNG acknowledges the Hela provincial government for their efforts in addressing these issues, which have allowed Link PNG to recommence services.
“Link PNG will be operating twice weekly services to Tari, every Sunday and Wednesday.
“The Sunday flight departs Port Moresby at 1pm and arrives in Tari at 2.30pm, the return flight arrives in Port Moresby by 4.25pm.
“The Wednesday flight departs Port Moresby at 9am, arriving in Tari at 10.30am.
“The return flight is in Port Moresby by 12.25pm.” Link PNG operates a fleet of DHC-8 aircraft.
