AIR NIUGINI SUSPENDS BRISBANE SERVICES DUE TO TROPICAL STORM ALFRED

March 6, 2025

Air Niugini advises customers that due to Tropical Storm Alfred, which is currently impacting Southeast Queensland and Northern New South Wales, Australia all flights to and from Brisbane have been temporarily suspended until Friday morning, 7th March 2025, subject to further weather assessments.

The severe weather conditions, including strong winds, heavy rainfall, and potential flooding, will likely adversely affect operations at Brisbane Airport, necessitating this precautionary measure to ensure the safety of our passengers, crew, and aircraft.

Air Niugini is closely monitoring the situation and will resume services as soon as it is deemed safe to do so. Affected passengers will be provided with options to rebook their flights at no additional charge, once operations resume. Passengers who were booked for Thursday have already been rebooked onto next available Brisbane flight at no extra charge. For those who choose to travel via other routes (for example via Cairns or Sydney) additional charges may apply.

The airline encourages travelers to check the Air Niugini website (www.airniugini.com.pg) and follow its official social media channels for the latest updates.

We appreciate the understanding of our customers during this period and remain committed to their safety and well-being.
