Papua New Guinea is experiencing major flight disruptions across the country because of a spate of pregnancies at its biggest airline.

Air Nuigini says nearly half of its recently recruited cabin crew members have fallen pregnant, making them unavailable for work.

The pregnancies have caused domestic flights to be cancelled or delayed.

A spokeswoman for the airline could not say how many flights have been affected or how long the disruptions will continue.

She says the company is recruiting new cabin staff and they are expected to be working within the next three months.

Because of Papua New Guinea's challenging geography, flying is the only way to travel around the country.
