As SLF who was recently asked by his company to fly into Porgera via Mt Hagen. I was naturally interested in this thread. Having heard from someone who came out of Porgera (Karik?) by bus that day because they couldn't fly and saw the damaged Twin Otter at Hagen, i believe it to have been a APNG plane. APNG subsequently operated his flight from Mt Hagen to Cairns (obviously not with that aircraft
).
Why is there ANY issue with identifying the operator @#!$!@#$#@$!
Tiger just got grounded here in Australia for decents below safe minimums, and yet you all appear to be operating in a environment where even to discuss a real incident that came within meters of killing everyone on board is problematic...
Have the pilots involved been suspended ? Has an official investigation been started ? Why is there no media involvement ? etc etc
Should i even consider getting on a aircraft in PNG ?
