CEO Milne said the airline is closely monitoring the situation and working with relevant stakeholders to assess any potential impacts.

“We are closely monitoring developments in the Middle East and their potential implications on global fuel supply. At this stage, there has been no impact on our operations, and fuel supply remains stable.

“We are assessing any potential changes in fuel pricing or supply volumes and will continue to work with our suppliers and partners to ensure continuity of operations,” Mr. Milne said.

He added that Air Niugini’s services are operating as normal, with no disruptions to flight schedules as a result of the situation.
