"An Australian based aviation safety auditor says conditions in PNG are ripe for an accident like that of the 2007 Garuda airline crash at Indonesia’s Yogyakarta airport."

Was the airport the major fault here? I seem to recall something about a pilot who ignored the fact that his approach had turned to excrement!

The only time that Air Nogat has been even close to this sort of incident was P2-ANB in Madang a few years back.

Yes the infrastructure and the political side of aviation in PNG sucks but the crew are usually top notch, they have to be to survive!
