PNG Air commenced services to Wapenamanda Airport this week.

“I am very happy to confirm that PNG Air as part of the new schedule starting Monday 14 August has begun services to Wapenamanda,” said Paul Abbot, PNG Air’s Chief Commercial Officer.

“Initially we will be operating Monday, Wednesday and Friday from Port Moresby to Wapenamanda but we are confident that as time goes on and local support builds we will be able to introduce additional flights into the schedule,” Mr Abbot said.

Enga Governor Sir Peter Ipatas welcomed the move by PNG Air saying “We welcome PNG Air to Enga Province and thank them for the increased options now available to the people of Enga wishing to travel to other areas within PNG.

It is important that the people have a choice of carriers and we are delighted that PNG Air have increased their network and included Wapenamanda.”
