Air Niugini Hoskins & Madang Flights
July 1, 2019
Air Niugini has stopped all aircraft overnighting in Madang effective today, Friday 28th June due to the eruption of Manam volcano. Manam is the second volcano to have erupted just days after the eruption of Mt Ulawun in West New Britain.
There will be no aircraft overnight in Madang this weekend while PX 112 on Saturday and Sunday will be rescheduled to the following day.
Hoskins aerodrome meanwhile is still closed for airline operations. Air Niugini has retimed and re-routed all Hoskins flights for this weekend via Rabaul and Lae. National Airports Corporation(NAC) has commenced removing the ash from the runway and taxiways but this will take some time..
Tomorrow, Saturday
