Air Niugini will resume direct flights between Port Moresby and Auckland from November 17, restoring the first non-stop air service between Papua New Guinea and New Zealand in more than 26 years.

The national airline announced yesterday it will operate three return flights a week, cutting travel time by eliminating the need for passengers and freight to transit through Australia or other regional hubs.

The service will initially be operated by Boeing 737-800 aircraft before transitioning to the airline’s new Airbus A220 fleet next year as more aircraft are delivered.

Air Niugini Chief Executive Officer Alan Milne said in a statement that the return of the Auckland route marks a major milestone in the airline’s international expansion and strengthens links between Papua New Guinea and New Zealand.

“The resumption of direct services to Auckland is a significant milestone for Air Niugini and for the people of Papua New Guinea and New Zealand,” Mr Milne said.

“We are delighted to once again provide a direct link between our two countries, making travel faster, more convenient and more accessible for business travellers, tourists, students and families.”

Mr Milne said the Auckland schedule has been designed to connect with Air Niugini’s services to Hong Kong, Singapore, Manila and Tokyo, reinforcing Papua New Guinea’s role as a gateway between the Pacific and Asia.

“The Auckland flights are timed to connect perfectly with existing Air Niugini services to and from Hong Kong, Singapore, Manila and Tokyo, further cementing Papua New Guinea’s position as a Pacific connector between the Pacific and Asia,” he said.

He said the direct service is expected to boost tourism, trade, education, cultural exchanges and seasonal worker travel while improving business opportunities between the two countries.

Passengers from New Zealand will also have access to convenient onward connections through Port Moresby to Air Niugini’s domestic network.

The SP PNG Hunters management must urgently review the head coaching position of Paul Aiton, as a critical deficit in strategic leadership both on and off the field threatens the franchise’s core trajectory. Tactically, the team exhibits a stagnant game plan, marred by rigid game reading and an inability to adapt mid match. Transition play is virtually non existent; the team lacks dynamic counter-attack structures, compounded by a failure to implement a resilient ball handling blueprint under defensive pressure.

​Furthermore, high-performance training protocols are falling short. There is a glaring deficiency in match specific stamina development and on field sports psychology, leading to poor late game ex*****on. Crucially, the coaching staff has failed to impart the vital inspiration and competitive urgency required at this level. Without an injection of tactical innovation and motivational leadership, a formal coaching transition is necessary to restore the Hunters' culture of elite excellence.

The Silent Disappearance of Sago: A Growing Concern Along the Fly River

For generations, the people living along the Fly River have depended on sago as their staple food. Sago trees have provided food security, supported local livelihoods, and formed an important part of the region's culture and way of life.

They said that years ago, their sago swamps were healthy and full of sago trees. Families harvested their own sago whenever they needed it, and they never had to buy it from elsewhere.

Today, the situation has changed. Many sago trees have dried up or disappeared, and the sago swamps are shrinking in.

The disappearance of sago is not just the loss of a tree it is the loss of a traditional food source, a way of life, and an important part of the identity of the people living along the Fly River.

Many people are now asking an important question: What is causing our plants and trees, especially the sago palms, to dry up and disappear? Could it be changes in the environment, prolonged dry weather, flooding, pollution, disease, or other human activities? The communities deserve answers, and further scientific investigation is needed to understand what is happening and how these vital ecosystems can be protected for future generations.

If nothing is done, future generations may only hear stories about the rich sago swamps that once sustained the people of the Fly River.

SPEED DOES NOT KILL. CORRUPTION KILLS

Good morning everyone.

I just want to share some thoughts and facts.

From 1979 I had the chance to work with Leaders in the old House of Assembly. Then in 2007 I joined the Justice Department. I wanted to help fight corruption, bring back good values, and help all PNG people get a fair chance in life as written in our Constitution.

But what I hoped for did not happen. Corruption has destroyed the heart of our country. Our culture and customs have been bent to suit selfish people. Things are so bad now that only God can change us.

For the last 20 years I have been working in the Public Trustee Office, looking after the property of people who have died. Since August 2007.

What I have seen is very sad.

Corrupt people are dying very fast. Some die overseas looking for treatment. Some die here suddenly. Some die alone with no family beside them. Some die from sickness that even the best doctors cannot explain.

When they die, their families come to my office. The sad part is many of these families do not even know each other when the person was alive. They only meet for the first time at my office after the person dies.

Most of them live like they will never die. They spend their corrupt money, drink, marry many wives, build businesses like hire cars, and give them big names. But they don’t live long to enjoy it with their grandchildren. Then they die, and everything disappears. We try to collect it and put it in order, but in the end we lose most of it.

Some marry women from other cultures, even from overseas like the Philippines. When the husband dies, these wives take what they can and run away. Even the real children miss out.

One businessman from the Highlands died. He had many wives. I tried to help, but everything was gone. One of his daughters came to me crying. She said, "Public Trustee, my father must have been a stupid man."

The United States Embassy, the U.S. Marine Detachment, and the Papua New Guinea American Football Federation Inc [PNGAFF] recently partnered to host a friendly flag football match at Ela Beach in Port Moresby.

The sporting event organized last weekend was part of the "Freedom 250" global celebrations, marking the upcoming 250th anniversary of American independence.

The match brought together embassy staff, U.S. Marines, and local PNGAFF athletes in a spirited display of sportsmanship aimed at strengthening people-to-people ties between the United States and Papua New Guinea.

U.S. Embassy Chargé d’Affaires Alex Berenberg expressed his excitement over bringing a staple of American culture to local shores.

"We are so excited to bring this part of American culture and our way of life here to Papua New Guinea," Berenberg said.

"It is a great way for us to share ties between our two peoples and to get to know one another, because this is so important to us as Americans. As we celebrate our 250th anniversary of independence, we like to bring a little piece of the USA to PNG.

PNGAFF president Timothy Dom Jim welcomed the partnership, stating it was a massive step for the code's growth in the country.

"PNG American Football started off in 2020. We have been running this flag football program for the last six years now," Jim said.

"We are really grateful to respect the culture of America here in Papua New Guinea through our sports. It is a great honor to have the United States Embassy and the U.S. Marines come on board to support us and run this program."

The PNGAFF was incorporated in 2020 and formally affiliated with the International Federation of American Football [IFAF] in 2021. The federation is currently in its early stages of expanding American football competitions across the country.

As Papua New Guinea advances toward the 2027 National General Election, all eyes are on the newly appointed Electoral Commissioner, Dr. Nicole Haley. Tasked with managing the country’s democratic process, the Commissioner faces the immense responsibility of restoring public trust, updating the National Common Roll, and ensuring transparent polling logistics. With deep-seated administrative and security challenges persisting from past updates, citizens and international observers remain cautious. Will the new leadership successfully deliver a free, fair, and transparent election for all Papua New Guineans in 2027? Let's wait and see.

🚨 IT’S A FAMILY THING: The K200 Million Question! 🚨

​The "Hot in PNG" viral leak is exposing deep political roots. Why is Prime Minister James Marape completely silent on the missing K200 million payments tied to Hon. Win Daki’s ministry and his family?

​Let’s take it back to the high-stakes 2022 elections.Reveal Prime Minister Marape making a covert, late-night journey under the cover of darkness to Tomba Village—the home of businessman-turned-politician Win Daki. This wasn't a standard public campaign rally. Marape stayed overnight, hosted by Daki's tribesmen and Charlene Daki.

​The political bonds run deep, as shown by the red-carpet receptions and joint Pangu Party rallies featured with where Rachael Marape and Charlene Daki walk side-by-side.

​This secret village alliance ultimately birthed the 2022 Pangu Government. Now, with K200 million missing from SME funds, citizens demand accountability. Will the Prime Minister protect his inner circle, or will he sack the Minister?
​📢 Share this widely! The country awaits an official response! 🇵🇬👇

​ Scandal

​This video on SMEs key to K200 billion economy provides context on Prime Minister James Marape's official stance regarding the economic importance of SME funding in Papua New Guinea.
