PX to resume Fokker jet flights to Kavieng, Nadzab next year

AIR Niugini will resume its Fokker jet flights into Kavieng and Nadzab airports after the completion of work on runways.
The National Airports Corporation (NAC) advised that work on runways at Nadzab and Kavieng airports would continue in 2022.
“Kavieng is now expected to return to Fokker jet operations around January instead of this month, while jet services to Nadzab are expected to resume in April instead of Jan,” according to a statement from Air Niugini.
“Due to the shortened runways at these two airports, Air Niugini services to both Lae and Kavieng are currently being operated by the smaller Q400 and Dash-8 aircraft from Link PNG.
“This will now continue through the peak travel period.
“Air Niugini regrets the inconvenience to the public during the peak travel season. However the safety of operations remains our primary concern.
“We look forward to resuming our Fokker jet operations to both Lae and Kavieng as soon as the upgrade works are completed.”
