PNG Air wishes to advise passengers and the traveling public of the bomb threat email that was circulated this morning to certain stakeholders in the aviation industry.
As a third party recipient to this email, PNG Air does not compromise on safety and takes this threat seriously.
To mitigate this threat, across the PNG Air network, stringent security measures are in place to ensure the safety of our passengers, ground staff, operating crew and aircraft.
- Passengers will be subject to pat downs and bag searches as deemed appropriate by airline security personnel.
- The airport apron and ramp area are sterile areas and will require ASIC red passes in order to be accessible.
- Additional security personnel have been stationed at areas identified as high risk to monitor and evaluate the severity of this threat and de-escalate the situation should the need arise.
These measures will remain in place indefinitely until such time PNG Air can determine safe operations of its crew and aircraft and the threat reduced and cleared.
PNG Air sincerely apologises for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciates your understanding during this time.
