Not to mention the amount of government money down the drain when Air Tungaru (previous name of Air Kiribati) operated a Boeing 727-100 freighter from Tarawa to Honolulu via Christmas Island circa 1979.
The crews were former Air Nauru pilots in those days.

There is probably no hurry to get operation up and running. Chinese money; so who cares, it's all about Chinese presence.
Back here in Port Moresby, Air Niugini has cancelled order for 737MAX, reviewing other options. PX president Allan Milne said Embraer 190 might be good deal. Chinese money?

Anyone has status on this. Has this been registered with CASA yet. I hope this doesn't come a very expensive toy collecting dust in AUST.
I suspect the current government would need to rush this as elections are coming up in March or April 2020. Last time something similar happen (ATR-72) the president had to resign.

VH-IKJ flew yesterday WTB-BNE - the long way round... via ROK! Didn't land there, just flew to ROK, turned around and came back to BNE. Rumour is, proving flight with CASA onboard...
