Today,
our airports, especially Jackson’s International Airport,
are inadequate for our
needs and passengers face various travel challenges .
As air traffic in and out
of Papua New Guinea increases, it is important that we develop facilities to accommodate
the growth. Also, our regional airports are in dire need of upgrades. As a
country, we have a great opportunity to position PNG as a transport and
aviation hub for the Pacific Islands.
The
current Government must extend the roles assigned to the PNG Civil Aviation
Safety Authority and
the Airports Company to make them more efficient in driving the aviation
industry.
The Government in partnership with the private sector, Must strive to establish PNG
as a hub for air travel in Pacific with the vision of building new international
airports in Lae , Hagen and Kokopo in addition to Jacksons airport . Partner
with the private Sectors, upgrade and expand facilities at our domestic airports,
including the provision of a new air strips in the Regions , which is are major
economic zones.
