Air Niugini to Offer direct JAPAN/FSM/PNG Services

May 30, 2018

From 01st September 2018, Air Niugini will commence direct air services between Narita Japan, and Chuuk in the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM).

The air services agreement to formalize this arrangement was signed between the Prime Ministers of Japan, FSM and PNG during the 08th Pacific Alliance Leaders Meeting (PALM) in Japan from the 18th to 19th May, 2018. The agreement now gives Air Niugini the right to uplift passengers between Narita and Chuuk on the way to and from Port Moresby.

Under this recent agreement, Air Niugini is now able to operate from Narita to Chuuk twice weekly. The existing weekly scheduled service POM/Chuuk/Pohnpei also remains but from 01st September operates on Thursdays, and will return via the same route Pohnpei/Chuuk/POM on Fridays.
