Embraer E195-E2 in factory demo paint scheme - in Port Moresby

[Office Update]

Arriving under cover of darkness at 22:45 approx was Embraer E195-E2 in the factory demo paint scheme "profit hunter"

Can this be a potential for Air Niugini to replace the aging Fokker 70/100 fleet, even the B737 ?

Plunging the already financially broke country into further debt.

My guess is that it's on its way to the Avalon Airshow starting next week.

I believe , Air Frontier are going to order 12 to 15 Embraer airframes.

Heading to AVV i'd say for the airshow

I would suggest 'Office update' is very close to the mark!

Demo flight today in POM for PX
Performance is better than Fokker 70/100 and the Embraer can operate from any airstrip Fokkers service. Haul 20% or more pax for 30% less operating costs
With the signing of an accord between Australia and PNG to assist PX, and with a large number now operating in Aus; line and heavy maintenance with Alliance would make sense.
All they have to do is find the $$$
PX Corporate department has released a press statement

There is only 1 E2 operating in Australia. The E2 has a different engine, landing gear, cockpit display’s etc compared to the E1.
