I would be very cautious of the posting by the "Thread Starter", too many inaccuracies; not withstanding the basic facts are true and the Board and Management has no idea on how to operate an airline.
Any airline that purchases a fleet of new aircraft (Airbus 220) in this case would have done their homework, and the report would reveal too many issues.
The ACN/PCN numbers are so far out of reality with the condition of runways in PNG; that the Airbus aircraft will be operated either illegally or almost every aerodrome they attempt domestic operations will require a permanent concession against the pavement numbers. This would be considered by a competent person, board member, senior planning team, CEO, COO etc to be a major failing.
Some of the main factors that affect Air Niugini domestics ops would include..
Poor runways, new refurbished runway, not meeting specification. Factor that don't help include weather and heavy rain undermining any sort of heavy earthwork. Other issues that affect runways refurbishment centre around corruption and bribery.
Choosing aircraft which will operate satisfactorily and meet all specifications ... again corruption and bribery interfere with the processes.
Lack of tertiary qualifications is an issue. Appointments in PX are quite often influenced by political push and shove, looking after wantoks,
The appalling conditions at Jackson's Airport in regards to hangarage space and working conditions for the engineering staff is simply not aligned with modern requirements and heavy maintenance of more than one aircraft at any one time.
