PNG Air starts flights into Tari

PNG Air operated its first commercial service on an ATR72-600 aircraft into Tari airport on Sunday.
PNG Air acting chief commercial officer Nancy Nakikus said: “PNG Air is happy to reconnect service to our Tari.
“Since the closure of the Tari Airport, the people have had to drive long distances to Mt Hagen and Komo to catch a flight.”
She said flights would operate three times a week.
“The people of Tari can now travel anywhere in PNG with PNG throughout the country,” he said.
“There is great potential for the people of Hela from an agricultural and tourism perspective which PNG Air can support through our flights.”
PNG Air will fly from Port Moresby to Tari on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday.
