Air Niugini is advising their valued customers on their flights to Tokua Airport in Rabaul, East New Britain, that it has downgraded their Dash 8 operations due to poor runway conditions.
The National Airports Corporation (NAC) issued a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) to cease jet operations from Tuesday 23rd May, while they address the runway issue.
The airline will advise when jet operations will resume once they get feedback from NAC on the runway works. Air Niugini regrets the inconveniences caused but says the situation is beyond their control.
They maintain that safety is of paramount importance to Air Niugini’s operations.
