# Air Niugini reliability Kavieng Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Papua New Guinea
englander 13:51 UTC 16 Jun 2015 | Hi there, I will be flying from Kavieng to Port Moresby in July and I wanted to get an idea of how likely my flight is to be cancelled! If the likelihood is high, then I'll book my flight for one day earlier. I hear that flights can be cancelled frequently in PNG, but I don't know if this is the reality for an Air Niugini flight outside the wet season. Thank you |
majordom 00:34 UTC 17 Jun 2015 | no doubt they are less reliable than some airlines but you are still 95% likely to arrive on time or less than 1 hr late first plane of the day is usually the most reliable since it is hopefully waiting there for you certainly dont try a tight turnaround in PNG - minimum of say 4hours to arrive at POM domestic to leave international | 1
