From todays Post Courier at
Post-Courier Online
Basically, a "Security man" took K100 from a booked passenger having been denied boarding on a supposably full flight, obtained baggage tags and a boarding pass for that passenger. Even by PNG standards, this sort of thing stinks.
OK, Grammon and Rakum, problem bilong yu.
Air Niugini needs honest, transparent staff
I took my mother inlaw to the airport for her return flight to Mt Hagen ( 3 ) three hours & thirty minutes before her boarding time but was
told by the staffs at the check in counter that the flight was already full. While waiting at the counter to see their supervisor a Papuan
lady by the Name of Alu some other passengers numbering 10 to 15 all joined me in the que having faced the same faith.
We all expected something good from her but was told by her that the flight was already full and asked us to come back the next day for the
morning flight so most of the passengers went back while I, my mother inlaw and one of my brother who was also denied a seat on that flight
waited to see if a miracle could happen in the last minute because we did not want to take our cooked food bought with our hard earned money
for our loved ones in Hagen to be taken back home.
While waiting a Air Niugini Security came and took my brother`s ticket and asked him to give K100.00 to take it to a staff at the counter to
help allocate a seat so my brother without delay gave the security guard a K100.00 and he took the ticket into the check in counter area and
several minutes later came back with a boarding pass and some baggage tegs for his three bags which is in excess of the required 16 kilo per
ticket.
He then gave the boarding pass to my brother and assisted him to get pass the security check into the departure lounge leaving his baggage
behind for him to put the tegs on and put them through without going to the weighing scale so my brother`s K100.00 planned to use with
Friends & Family in Hagen was given to this dishonest staffs .
My mother inlaw who was to return on that flight was denied so we went back and came back very early the next day @ 4.30am.
Can the management look into to this problem because the traveling public have already felt the pain on Air niugini`s really expensive fares.
Happy New Year.

The Icelanders are only here for the short-term, aren't they?? 6 months or something like that...
I think it's a good thing for PX to get type-rated guys to fill in, while the F-100 pilots are trained to fly the big birds.

"Grenade found in aircraft seat"
Briefly a grenade was found in an aircraft seat pocket and suspected to be from a passenger who boarded at Buka.
That would be the same Buka that loaded a consignment containing mercury last year and ultimately grounded 2 F100's whilst they were decontaminated. The article goes on to also mention finding a grenade launcher on a APNG flight from Kikori to Hagen.
Don't you just love PNG.

G'Day All,
A little of the subject, but does any one know why APNG is helping Airniugini cadets get hours with them while Airniugini is pinching APNG the most experience pilot thru the back door. I dont know gents but its just looks like APNG is really bending over on this deal and let Airnokat give it to them up the tail pipe.

.. PX pay the salary of the cadets therefore APNG get free co-pilots
. Makes sense until a cadet bends 1

I see the Pixie CEO is advertising for an Executive Wantok. Air Niugini Limited - Career Opportunity
Now I wonder who that position has been created for.
It's a pity the required qualifications didn't include some knowledge and understanding of aviation and airlines. Still being a bean counter apparently is enough.

P2-ANA is on a 5 year lease from Icelainder aswell.
Their old B767 was Air New Zealand ZK-NCE which is now in Europe.
There was a bring drama, PX was suppose to Buy a BI B767, two at the time hadnt been refurbished inside. BI were selling them as they were buying B777's off Air France. Now the deal fell through, dont know the reason.
By the time PX relized, they had already returned NZ B767 and NZ had leased it to another company in Europe.

New Management Wantok
With all those position tasks which assist the CEO and all the requirements to plan strategy and a five year plan and whatever else is needed to be done by the new dogsbody, you'd have to wonder what the rest of the Management Team is going to do......take a long holiday maybe ?

Precisely what they do now or are allowed to do now....very little.
This man trusts no-one, cannot afford to trust anyone, and it is the hand-picked puppet who will do everything his master desires.

) to immediately spring to mind. 
Rumour is that Air Niugini is going to engage a recruiting company in the UK to do the sourcing of pilots,at the cost of about 10 grand a succesful applicant ?
What's wrong with the Kiwis ?
