Acting Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Gary Seddon, expressed his enthusiasm for the latest addition, stating that the Boeing 737s will play a crucial role in supporting Air Niugini's operations until the introduction of Airbus A220 aircraft in late 2025.
The introduction of the Boeing 737s marks a strategic move by Air Niugini to replace Fokker aircraft operations, particularly on domestic trunk routes, aiming to increase capacity and improve passenger experience. Mr. Seddon acknowledged the contribution of the Fokker jets over the years while emphasizing the reliability, comfort, and safety provided by the Boeing 737s.
"We are grateful for the support and loyalty of our valued customers," Mr. Seddon remarked, expressing optimism for the future. He highlighted the airline's commitment to overcoming challenges related to jet fuel and airport infrastructure, focusing on network expansion, value for money, and schedule reliability.
The arrival of the third Boeing 737 aircraft underscores Air Niugini's dedication to modernizing its fleet and enhancing its services, reaffirming its position as a leading airline in the Pacific region.
