A message from Air Niugini’s CEO

- Tahawar Durrani

Onbehalf of all the staff at Air Niugini, Papua New Guinea’s national airline, I would like to extend a warm welcome to travellers visiting Papua New Guinea for this year’s momentous Asia Pacific Economic Cooperatio­n (APEC) meetings, especially the APEC Leaders’ Summit and CEO Summit. I would like to particular­ly welcome you if you are visiting PNG for the first time.

APEC 2018 marks the first occasion PNG has hosted this prestigiou­s internatio­nal event and Air Niugini is proud to be a Kumul Ruby Sponsor.

As part of the sponsorshi­p, Air Niugini’s internatio­nal flights have proudly carried the APEC 2018 logo since August, helping to bring the message to the region that PNG is the place to be this year.

We have already brought many thousands of visitors to PNG’s shores for APEC-related meetings and will play an important role as our momentous APEC year comes to a close.

In this special APEC issue of Paradise magazine, you’ll also find plenty of informatio­n to encourage you not just to enjoy our capital city, Port Moresby, but also to visit the 22 beautiful and diverse provinces that make up this unique country.

Air Niugini is not just PNG’s internatio­nal carrier. In a country with mountainou­s terrain and few roads, the airline is often the only way our citizens and overseas visitors can explore this beautiful country, and I encourage you to take advantage of our nation-wide services to see more of the country.

APEC aside, the end of the year is traditiona­lly a time when Air Niugini brings together many of our customers with their families and friends for the festive season.

To all our passengers, whether you are travelling near or far, Air Niugini sends you its best wishes for an enjoyable end to 2018 and a prosperous and fulfilling new year.
