There was the PAC 750 late last year; I think back in the air
Twin Otter at Wobagen in Dec last year; I think its still there waiting to be recovered...

Rather interesting on the FB web page...
A Beech 1900D that is 27 years old being described as "new"
Not sure how the aircraft will perform on a wet Moro runway, sticky at best of times when wet.
Looks like an Airline advertising that seats are available...
Reserve/back-up aircraft to cover breakdowns? Engineers to keep machine serviceable?
Is the crashed Twin Otter still at Wobagen from last December....

She looks a busy little number.....
The 1900 is now on the PNG register as P2-ASA and doing quite a bit of flying. If I was a betting man, I’d be putting money on them acquiring another 1900 or two if the aeroplane is successful for their business. MBA proved that the aircraft was a success in PNG, until they changed their business model about 20 years ago and replaced them with vintage Dash 8s🤡🤡🤡🤡
It’s operated under a Part 125 certificate, hence no step up to a 121 certificate.

Let's hope the B1900 does not go the same way as the Twin Otter and the PAC 750.
That aside it is a very good aircraft for PNG.
We know from the accident report into the Twin Otter; the Otter crew are already B1900 type rated.

Air Sanga has their own maintenance facility at Kiunga and I think Port Moresby.
Air Sanga has qualified national (PNG) flight crew.
As with everything in PNG there can be two set of rules; and if your company is owned by politicians, high level public servants, connection to 'ruling' members; then anything is possible.
