Indeed how long can Apng and Skytrans last? It certainly looks ominous. APNG funded Skytrans for many years, now it is also losing money. The economies of both countries are experiencing slow downs because of the reduction of expenditure as the mining boom goes from construction to supply. All the aircraft are old, most leased, and not much silver in the war chest by the sounds of it.
On the plus side the flying is still there in PNG, someone will have to do it. APNG provide services and connections to many small communities. I feel it is the managment that let them down; no commitment. Why would you when you are working for a company that has no regard for anything but the mighty $$.
