What an incredible day! 🎉✈️
On 29 May, PNG Air made history when we completed our maiden flight into Moro and officially brought Mangi Kutubu home!
Hundreds of people from Kutubu and the Southern Highlands came out to welcome the aircraft in a beautiful celebration filled with culture, pride, and community spirit.
Mangi Kutubu is more than just a plane — it is owned by PRK on behalf of the Kutubu landowners and leased to PNG Air, making this the first time in Papua New Guinea's history that landowners have owned and leased an aircraft to a major airline. That is something truly special. 🇵🇬
To the people of Kutubu and the Southern Highlands — this one is for you. We are proud to serve your communities and honoured to be part of this historic moment.
Thank you to PRK, MRDC, Santos, and everyone who made this day possible. PNG Air remains committed to keeping Papua New Guineans connected — because that is what the People's Choice airline does. 💙
