The Air Niugini Board and Management announced it had purchased bulk of jet fuel stock to support the operation of the airline during the shortage of Jet A Fuel in the country.
This decision is a response towards Jet A Fuel sole supplier, Puma Energy’s decision to close it’s Operations in Papua New Guinea
The shortage of jet fuel in PNG had already affected the airline’s ability to operate some flights as scheduled.
Air Niugini’s supply of jet fuel has been successfully delivered to Port Moresby storage facilities to ensure the continuity of scheduled services out of Jackson’s Domestic airport.
However, Air Niugini understands there is no regional center jet fuel delivery solution in place and In the event of any disruptions to the Air Niugini schedule due to the lack of regional jet fuel supply, announcements will be made to keep passengers informed.
Air Niugini’s jet fuel will be stored and transported to aircraft in strict compliance with the applicable standards including the International Air Transport Association (IATA) regulations, concerning international safety and regulatory conformance.
Meanwhile Air Niugini has been able to maintain its international flights, ensuring connectivity for passengers traveling between Papua New Guinea and international destinations. It will continue to manage its fuel requirements for the foreseeable future, whilst working to establish a permanent, capable, and appropriate aviation fuel supply contract.
