The National Airports Corporation (NAC) wishes to formally advise the traveling public, valued airline partners, and all relevant stakeholders that Tokua Airport in East New Britain province, has officially resumed normal flight operations.

This reopening follows a comprehensive and rigorous technical inspection conducted by dedicated safety team of NAC earlier this afternoon.

During this assessment, both the runway and taxiway were meticulously evaluated and confirmed to meet all required safety protocols for aircraft movement.

As a result of these findings, the Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) issued during the morning hours has been formally cancelled, allowing scheduled flight services to recommence effective as of 1:30 PM today.

NAC stated that they understand that these temporary closures can be disruptive, and would like to extend their sincere gratitude to all passengers and the wider community for their continued patience and cooperation.

At the National Airports Corporation, they remain steadfast in their commitment to upholding the highest international standards of security and operational integrity, as the safety of all passengers and crew remains their absolute priority.
