Very nice looking paint job. I heard from a reliable insider that it's supposed to start ops on the 6th,based at Lihir Island and operating up through to the highlands MON-FRI. Although they still have to do proving flights.
I think they have had a Part 121 approval for years with the Dash 8 on it, although they have never had the need to exercise the approval up until now.
Just hope they have pilots flying the aircraft with PNG experience,or else it could turn very ugly very quick in the Highlands. Not a place for newcomers to learn the footprint of the land in such a high performance aircraft,regardless if they have trillions of hours on type.
