Air Niugini wins best employer awards
The PNG Human Resource Institute has named Air Niugini as the best stateowned enterprise employer for 2015. The airline’s general manager of human resources, Rei Logona, also won the award as best individual HR practitioner for 2015.
Air Niugini chairman, Sir Frederick Reiher, says: “Air Niugini has worked very hard to maintain good relations with all its 2000 employees, and I appreciate the acknowledgement by the PNG Human Resource Institute by giving the airline the award.”
Big birds take a holiday
Air Niugini’s big birds usually fly, including Brisbane and Singapore.
The aircraft are provided under a ‘wet lease’, whereby the pilots, engineers and senior cabin crew are provided by Euroatlantic, while the cabin crew are from Air Niugini.
Euroatlantic also provides wet lease aircraft to British Airways and Etihad.
Air Niugini’s aircraft are expected back in service around mid-July.
