Air Niugini has resumed its Fokker jet services to Wewak starting today following the completion of runway repairs by the National Airports Corporation (NAC). Since the works on the airport runway commenced early this year, Link PNG has been operating to Wewak airport using smaller Dash-8 aircraft, but with passenger numbers restricted to as few as 20 at times because of the shortened runway. Air Niugini General Manager Commercial Dominic Kaumu said the last months of restrictions at Wewak has been inconvenient for both the customers and the airline. "However, we understand runways must be maintained to the highest standard and we are pleased the works are now complete and we can resume our Fokker 100 jet services into Wewak airport," Mr Kaumu said. Air Niugini operates daily nonstop Fokker services between Port Moresby and Wewak, and additional services will be scheduled throughout the peak period should demand warrant.
