FUEL CRISIS IN PAPUA NEW GUINEA
This means a 200 litre drum of fuel:
Due to circumstances beyond our control, MAF in Papua New Guinea are facing critical challenges with the supply of aviation fuel.
PNG’s only fuel supplier advised in mid-February 2024 that they would be unable to continue to supply fuel to the wider aviation community. This has lead to country-wide disruption in fuel supply, with only weeks of supply left.
THE ISSUE
THE IMPACT
The ramifications of this fuel shortage extend far beyond MAF's operations. It affects the livelihoods and well-being of the people in remote communities who depend on our air service
OUR RESPONSE
MAF is diligently working to minimise disruptions to our operations, including reducing flying hours, prioritising critical flights, and optimising routes. We have also introduced a fuel surcharge and are calling on our global partners to provide assistance while a long term solution is developed.
Your support will help MAF continue deliver hope to people living in remote areas of PNG.
THE ISSUE
We are partnering with the government in flying in health workers, medicines and awareness materials into rural hospitals to help them prepare for the worst.

- To sustain our service to remote PNG communities, we've procured fuel from New Zealand, albeit at double the cost.

- We urgently seek your support to help us navigate through these turbulent times.
