Airborne Logistics in Port Moresby operated Robinson R44, P2-ZWT up until Feb 2020, then exported.

Frabelle Fishing Co. operated Robinson R44, RP-C5058 until it crashed in a river near Lae in May 2015

New Tribes Missions (Ethnos360 Aviation) have a new R66 due in country soon to replace an aging Bell 206, apparently one of three new machines. from their web site:- .McNeal, AZ, October 25, 2021 – The crane was the big attraction. Who doesn’t love to see heavy equipment at work, making the difficult look so easy? With slow and steady movements, the crane raised the orange shipping container onto a tractor-trailer. Inside that container? The first Robinson R66 helicopter bound for Papua New Guinea. You trusted God with us to supply the R66 and to outfit it for field service. You prayed for our technicians as they figured out the tricky HF radio installation. Now we trust God to make another difficult thing easy. With shipping lines so clogged with idle cargo ships at the docks, some estimate it will take six to eight months to travel the 7,277 miles to the dock at Lae, Papua New Guinea.
