I have always found this to be a quite incomprehensible goal. PNG being a hub between Australia and Asia seems to me analogous to Germany being a hub between France and Asia......why would you bother? Fly direct and miss out an unnecessary stop/sh!thole (depending on the example you consider) and arrive hours/days (depending on the example you consider) earlier.
Casey Stoner's quip to Valentino Rossi after a particularly tempestuous Spanish MotoGP........"Your ambition outweighs your talent" could well be directed at PX management on this point. Perhaps PX management should concentrate on completing a domestic on time performance of better than 50% before looking afar. I know I know 50% is a lofty goal from current numbers but you gotta aim high!
