Air Niugini and the PNG Tourism Promotion Authority (PNGTPA) executives had a meeting on Monday 27th March with the focus to progress a mutually beneficial partnership, for tourism growth across Papua New Guinea.

Air Niugini’s Acting Chief Executive Officer, Gary Seddon and PNGTPA CEO, Eric Mossman Uvovo met to share ideas, discuss challenges and opportunities – to encourage a more collaborative approach toward tourism development.

Mr. Seddon recognized the efforts across the industry, to restart tourism after years of uncertainty and restrictions.

He said “Air Niugini is about to undertake a major investment program in its fleet. Next generation aircraft will improve reliability and expand our network, for the benefit of our country. These aircraft will be larger and more efficient.”

Mr. Uvovo indicated that TPA would be willing to establish an MOU with Air Niugini to commit to a series of tourism initiatives – that build on existing products across the country, with Air Niugini offering to support greater access through a competitive range of airfares.

“TPA is excited about the prospect of a collaboration if it benefits tourism SMEs and PNG tourism businesses. Tourism grows local economies with substantial jobs growth.” Mr Uvovo said
