Air Niugini to lease E190
Air Niugini will lease an E190 from SKYAIRWORLD to operate the BNE/SYD route.
Also, they are looking at dry leasing a 767 from Icelandair to take delivery in April.
The current 757 on wetlease from Icelandair will now be a long term dry lease, and it will be put onto the P2 (PNG) register.
The 757 and 767 leases will most likely continue until the delivery of the 787 in 2010. The 787 was originally booked for 2016, but apparently it may be delivered as soon as 2010. I have to say that isn't looking likely with the delays that have been announced by Boeing of late.
No 'web' source/s available for the above information, but the information was obtained from a reliable source.
Does anyone have any more information regarding the E190??
NZ2.
Edit: Ammended 787 year of delivery above.
