Air Niugini's Boeing 787 Order in Doubt Following Government Review
Air Niugini's plan to acquire two Boeing 787-8 Dreamliners is now facing significant uncertainty. The government of Papua New Guinea has launched a review of the airline's entire fleet modernization program, which was announced in June 2023. Acting Prime Minister John Rosso stated the current terms may be unfavorable and that the state is seeking a better deal. This government intervention casts doubt on the replacement of the airline's aging Boeing 767s. The review also impacts a related order for Airbus A220 aircraft, putting the carrier's entire renewal strategy at risk.
