F100 Retirement
Certainly the Fokkers have a life left and they will be at PX for anouther 5 years. These aircraft are suffering from a lack of spares mostly, but overall they all fly 5 cycles a day all year long.
The Dash 8 Q400 is a capable machine that if employeed properly will serve Air Niugini well.
Qantas will soon be into POM with their service so the timely arrival of two newer PX machines looks good.
Management at PX is not good and has not improved much in recent years. They are buying aircraft but effficiency is not improving, I think a change is over due but there are risks involved.
