After MUCH prayer and discernment over the past few days, we have decided to proceed with our scheduled travel to PNG. Two days ago we received notice that ongoing fuel shortages in Papua New Guinea are causing disruption of their flights and that it will likely continue through at least the end of March.
As of March 5, Air Niugini (PX) has resumed international flight services after securing alternative jet fuel supplies, though domestic flights remain limited. Supply rationing, as well as widespread and regular closures, continue to affect fuel stations, especially in Port Moresby. The government may declare a state of emergency in the coming days to restore fuel supplies, though acute shortages and supply suspensions could happen at short notice.
Our team has arrived at their designated airports and have all cleared security. The long journey to PNG begins! They will be spending a night in Australia before continuing the PNG.
Please pray for their safety, stamina, and good flight connections along the way!
