Air Niugini Timetable
I had a look at PX online timetable and found a few suprises:
No more flights to KUL anymore but got extra flight to SIN.
The 767s have a full schedule all operating flights 7 days a week
PX are operating the 767 into CNS on WED as PX 090 such a big plane for a small port.
Despite all the competition from QF and Apng the CNS-POM route is doing well for PX,
if they can upguage from the F100 to the 767.
Their best route must be BNE now at 12 per week so close to twice daily but SYD still only 2 per week.
Got 3 Q400s in fleet now.
10 Dash 8s in total others are: (1-100, 3-200s and 3-300s)

I agree jarden. Sending the flights through BNE would be the ideal solution and obviously a Boeing. Also given the fact that all PX's F100 and "Clasic" Dash 8 pilots go to Melbourne for sim cyclics every 6 months, might be another plus to go to MEL.
There is quite a substantial amount of pax that originate from MEL and AKL, who go to POM, largely thanks to the mining industry in PNG.
Another rumor going around PX at the moment is that they are looking closely at the B737-700, for a medium hauler and I did hear that MEL and AKL were possible destinations.

Air Niugini Boeing 767 in Cairns
P2-ANA JUST ON TOUCH DOWN AS FLIGHT PX090
At the terminal in gate 1 same everyday for PX
PX are using the 767 every wed to cater for increased demand for freight. Usual F100 the rest of the week and the odd Dash 8
Getting ready for take off back to POM

A Quick Question
Does anyone know why PX do not publish their Cairns to Moro and Cairns to Goroka dash flights in the international timetable. As they do operate according to Cairns Airport website.

Hey Guys,
Please excuse my ignorance as lately I have been living and working out of N America, and therefore have been out of the loop regarding SE Asia for the past 18 months or so. I got the call to attend an Interview and SIM eval for AN in Melbourne in a couple of weeks, somewhat of a suprise and 'out of the blue' I might add!
After doing a little resurch on this thead, and placeing a couple of other posts requesting infomation which drew 200 views yet no responses, I have to say that I am somewhat of a loss.
I flew in PNG a while back, and while it has to be said that the country is not without it's issues to say the least, the overall experience, for me anyway, was a positive one. Yet what I'm picking up here dosn't seem to be reflecting that at all.
Are the posters here just a bunch of Ex-Pat whiners? (I have travelled extensively thoughout the world, and unfortunately there seems to be no shortage of those); or are these really genuine concerns regarding poor managment and safety? (And again, unfortunately there are a number of operations I've come across in the past, that would simply not survive even the passing scruitny of the authorities anywhere near civilisation).
Is there anyone here whom would be able to provide 'first hand' infomation on the operation there. I am looking for infomation on lifestyle, accommodation, rotation, (ie. is it realisticly commutable), and of course, pay.
The good, the bad, the ugly, the, 'you gotta be outta your shaggin' mind' comments are all welcome; as any real infomation would be very much appreciated.
Please feel free to PM me if you would prefur,
Cheers,
TP

With regards to the unlisted flights ex-Cairns, I would imagine they are mining charters and not open for bookings from the general public.

Is that an APNG dash sneaking in to the far left of the photo of P2-ANA in Cairns I thought those guys cancel most of their weekly flights except for the Mondays and Fridays.

It's an ATR-72 operated by A/PNG for Newcrest mining previously Lihir Gold. It is on the Malaysian register soon to be P2. Operates 6 days a week to Lihir Island
The photos remind me of scenes during the last big boom in PNG around 1994-5 when Air No Got operated the A300 and A310 in and out of Cairns on a Tuesday.
Good to see
