FOR THE PEOPLE’S AIRLINE…
Aside from the national airline Air Nuigini, another popular operator is ‘the people’s airline’, PNG Air, who celebrated 35 years of service to the people, communities, and businesses of PNG in 2022. Its instantly recognisable empennage is often used to celebrate cultural emblems, with the 35th anniversary logo being a striking representation of all the distinct elements of PNG livery, represented through the Bird of Paradise.
Connecting travellers to over 24 destinations on PNG’s widest domestic network, PNG Air is proudly owned by the country’s major institutions and by approximately 2,300 PNG nationals.
