The Port Moresby-based airline ordered six A220-100s direct from Airbus in November 2023. It is also acquiring a further two A220-100s, together with three A220-300s, from lessors.

In addition to the six ordered, Air Niugini is also set to acquire three A220-300s and a further two A220-100s from third-party lessors, Airbus says.
