Nordic Aviation Capital (NAC) has confirmed it has delivered one De Havilland Dash 8-400, MSN 4184, to Link PNG on lease. The aircraft was originally scheduled to deliver in 2019, however, due to the impact of COVID-19 on travel restrictions the delivery was postponed. The improving conditions and easing of restrictions in Papua New Guinea have allowed for the delivery to take place this month. MSN 4184 is the final aircraft to deliver as part of a two-aircraft transaction.
Link PNG is a regional carrier based at Port Moresby Jacksons International Airport. The carrier is a subsidiary of Air Niugini, established as part of the airlines’ restructure. Link PNG operates on a separate air operator’s certificate, serving provincial and district routes across Papua New Guinea. The carrier operates with turboprop aircraft.
