Helping our Neighbours

There are a few small commercial airlines who fly into Telefomin regularly. One of them had a stone unfortunately damage their Twin Otter recently. As they know we are based here full-time, they contacted our boss to ask if we had any accommodation. The transit house, which Shiv looks after, played host to 2 pilots and 4 Engineers, the latter who stayed for the whole weekend to fix the aircraft. Thankfully they were successful and the Twin Otter flew out on Monday, much to their relief.

We are here to serve the remote communities, but it’s nice to be able to help our aviation neighbours too! Pictured are the 4 hardworking Engineers who stayed for the weekend. They all live in Tabubil, the mining town a 15 min flight away. The mining trucks there drive through the night, so they all said they slept so well in Telefomin’s peace & quiet!
