Fleet
Airlines PNG (IATA: CG, ICAO: TOK) is Papua New Guinea's primary airline, established in 1987 and headquartered at Jacksons International Airport in Port Moresby. The carrier has built its operations around connecting Papua New Guinea's dispersed geography, where mountainous terrain and limited ground infrastructure make air travel essential for both passengers and cargo.
The airline's network spans domestic routes within Papua New Guinea and regional services to neighbouring Pacific nations. Its hub at Jacksons International Airport serves as the main connection point for passengers traveling to and from the capital, with flights radiating outward to provincial centers and remote communities. This hub-and-spoke model reflects the country's reliance on aviation for inter-island and inter-regional connectivity.
Airlines PNG operates a practical mixed fleet combining regional turboprops-the De Havilland Canada Dash 8 and DHC-6 Twin Otter-for shorter routes and thinly populated sectors, alongside Boeing 737 narrow-body jets for higher-capacity domestic and regional services. This combination allows the airline to serve both major airports and smaller, remote airfields where larger aircraft cannot operate.
