Air Niugini reliability Kavieng

Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Papua New Guinea

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

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
