Press Release: Fuel Shortage in Telefomin, Tabubil and Kiunga areas
Date: 12 December 2024, For Immediate Release

Due to ongoing supply chain challenges and the necessity of sourcing fuel from overseas, a fuel shortage is currently affecting the Telefomin, Tabubil and Kiunga regions. While a shipment of fuel is en route, delays mean it will not arrive in Kiunga until the first week of January 2025. As a result, adjustments to flight programs in these areas will be necessary until the new fuel delivery has been completed.

The MAF Bookings and Operations Centre are currently reviewing flight programs and contacting affected customers.
Dom Sant, MAF PNG Interim Country Director said “We are cancelling non-essential flying to be able to conserve fuel in the Telefomin, Tabubil and Kiunga areas. This will allow MAF to continue to operate essential flights such as medical evacuations.”
Non-essential flights will either be postponed or cancelled until early 2025.

MAF recognises that these changes will cause disruptions to flight schedules and may prevent some customers from traveling as planned, and deeply regret the inconvenience this will cause.

Mr Sant said “I want to assure our customers that we are taking all possible steps to minimize the impact on affected communities and re-establish fuel supply as soon as possible. However, the logistics of purchasing fuel from abroad has significantly affected our fuel supply.”

We are committed to resolving this issue as swiftly as possible and ensuring that operations return to normal once the delayed shipment arrives. Your patience and understanding during this challenging period are greatly appreciated.

SITA – an exhibitor at FTE Global (Los Angeles, 28-30 October 2024) and Platinum Sponsor and exhibitor at FTE APEX Asia Expo (Singapore, 19-20 November 2024) – is partnering with Air Niugini to integrate SITA’s recently launched SITA Connect Go Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) platform into the airline’s digital infrastructure. The solution will link Air Niugini’s six international airport and sales offices to the airline’s head office in Port Moresby and its cloud-hosted applications.

SITA Connect Go is the only integrated networking and security solution designed specifically for the air transport industry, offering secure connectivity for Air Niugini’s global workforce, whether stationed in the office or working remotely. The solution will improve productivity, offer enhanced flexibility, and increase the average bandwidth by about forty times, all while mitigating risks associated with traditional internet deployments.

“This new partnership with Air Niugini is a big step for us in the region as we look to continue offering solutions that cater to our customers’ needs,” said Sumesh Patel, President, SITA APAC. “Our end-to-end secure network solutions are a great way for airlines to stop worrying about their network capabilities and concentrate on other important priorities across their operations. By offering them robust security, increased bandwidth, and a higher flexibility for their staff, we can help them do just that.”

This partnership marks the first implementation of SITA Connect Go SASE in the Asia-Pacific region. SITA Connect Go aims to help the industry transform its network capabilities to meet evolving bandwidth, resilience, security, and automation needs while remaining cost-competitive.

“Our partnership with SITA to implement the SITA Connect Go SASE platform is a transformative step in our digital evolution,” said Gary Seddon, CEO, Air Niugini. “This solution will significantly enhance the connectivity and security of our operations, allowing us to better serve our passengers, improve productivity across our international offices, and future-proof our infrastructure as we continue to expand. We are proud to be the first airline in the APAC region to adopt this cutting-edge technology, reinforcing our commitment to operational excellence and innovation.”
