Morobe govt to partner National Airport Corporation for project

THE Morobe Government will partner National Airport Corporation to launch the Aviation in Agriculture and Fisheries programme on June 18, 2021.
Morobe Governor Ginson Saonu said a memorandum of understanding would be signed to secure a percentage of the revenue earned at Nadzab.
“The national government will concentrate on passengers but the Morobe government will concentrate on the huge planes that will come from overseas by filling them with agriculture produce.
“Morobe produce such as taro, yam, vegetables and fish must fill the cargo section of the plane to be send to overseas countries that do not have land to grow their food,” he said.
He said with the development of Nadzab Airport to international standards, Morobe must be involved.
“The airport authority must include two local level governments (Wampar and Erap Wain LLGs), the Gabsongkec people, Morobe government, NAC and the National Government and others involves in the airline industry. I want a different government body to govern the Nadzab Airport and do it the right way so everybody will be part and parcel of the authority by partnering with each other and investing together,” Saonu said.
