Air Niugini Resumes Jet Operations To Kieta
December 4, 2018
Air Niugini will resume jet operations to Aropa airport in Kieta, Autonomous Region of Bougainville (AROB), effective Tuesday 18th December 2018.
The recommencement of jet operations is made possible following the installation of Precision Approach Path Indicator (PAPI) lights, which is a requirement for jet operations. PAPI lights are a visual aid that is generally located beside the runway that provides guidance information to help pilots maintain the correct approach to an airport.
The PAPI light project was jointly funded by National Airports Corporation (NAC) and the Office of the Member for South Bougainville, Hon Timothy Masiu.
Air Niugini General Manager, Commercial Services Mr Dominic Kaumu said these flights will operate twice weekly from Port Moresby to Kieta every Tuesdays and Fridays.
