Qantas launches new direct flight to Papua New Guinea
Qantas has launched a landmark new direct flight between Australia and Papua New Guinea. The connection is the airline's first commercial passenger flight between Sydney and Port Moresby in more than five decades. Two return flights will operate each week on Boeing 737 aircraft. The flights add to Qantas' existing daily Brisbane to Port Moresby service. Qantas International CE Cam Wallace said the new route would help strengthen the ties between the two countries. "These flights will meet the growing demand from the business community for travel between Australia and Papua New Guinea," said Wallace. "Our new Sydney service will save customers at least three hours in travel time on return trip by avoiding a stopover in Brisbane." Qantas began services to Papua New Guinea in the 1940s with two light aircraft stationed in Lae for local operations.<br/>
