Puma Energy has issued a stop fuel supply notice, creating a ripple effect that poses challenges for businesses and communities relying on the PNG Air.
The airline in a statement notified its customers that under these circumstances, it is faced with the daunting task of assessing the potential impact on its current schedule and ensuring the safety of its operations.
“Uder the circumstances, PNG Air has assessed that the integrity of our current schedule will be challenged. We are reviewing schedules and fuel availability continually, and scheduling decisions will be driven by operation safety,” it stated.
“During this time PNG Air will not be responsible for accommodating disrupted passengers as limited fuel allocation throughout the network places safety constraints on the operation of our aircraft. Delays and or cancelled flights due to fuel restrictions and or weather are possible, this decision, if made, will be in the best interest of passenger’s safety.
The airline said it be working with other fuel supplies to source fuel to maintain integrity of its current schedule, however this may be an additional cost to the airline.
“Our call Centre team will be in contact with customers who have purchased tickets for onward travel who could be affected by this announcement,” it stated.
“PNG Air sincerely apologies for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciates your understanding during this time.”
