Boeing 737-800
Air Niugini operates a single B737-800 on routes from Port Moresby to Brisbane, Sydney and several other destinations. This year they were supposed to start taking delivery of four Boeing 737 Max 8 to replace the 737NG. Due to the ongoing Max issues, delivery of these birds has been postponed until a further undetermined date.
My Thoughts
Air Niugini is a small airline with rich history, and a beautiful-simple livery. This would complement the other Pacific Island liveries already in game and would open up for more exploration of the nation of Papua New Guinea!
