Mr Milne said “We provide 9 to 10 weekly services on our Fokker 70 and F100 jet aircraft, which have 76 to 100 seats including business class seats and we offer the fastest flight times on the route, which is ideal for business and leisure travelers alike”

“Air Niugini also provides great connections out of Port Moresby to and from 23 domestic ports and mining townships throughout the country. We have our Destinations Loyalty Program and are partners in the Qantas Frequent Flyers Program. We offer a generous 30kg free baggage allowance to all our Economy class customers(40kg for baggage for Business class), which is extended to customers who are connecting with Air Niugini domestic flights. We also provide a full complimentary inflight service including food and beverages, a service not all airlines offer.”

Air Niugini provides similar services on its direct Port Moresby/Brisbane and Port Moresby/Sydney flights using our wide body Boeing 767 and our Boeing 737aircraft, as well as complimentary inflight entertainment.
