Pat on the back for airline staff

Our team performed extremely well.

Air Niugini management has congratulated staff involved in airport operations during the busy APEC period in Port Moresby last year.

Air Niugini’s representative on APEC and general manager of corporate services, Marco McConnell, on behalf of the airline’s board, thanked everyone for a job well done.

“It was a massive undertaking beyond our normal scope of airport handling, due to the bigger aircraft sizes, much increased number of aircraft movements and the sensitivity and importance of many of the customers; however our team performed extremely well,” he said.

“We had to ensure strict protocols and precise coordination for the entire arrival and departure period, including the red-carpet stairs and VIP arrival and departure processes.”

Air Niugini has also acknowledged the National Airports Corporation and other organisations that assisted with airport coordination during APEC.
