Charter Smarter
PNG Aviation

Fixed-wing and rotary charters in PNG are highly fragmented and primarily serve the mining industry. Even for professionals, building a charter plan across the country’s 500+ airstrips can take up to three weeks – if schedules align quickly.

PNG Boundless procures and manages all air movements under a transparent cost-plus model. Our relationships give us priority and access to management, often reducing added fees through smarter routing, negotiated fuel costs and aligned operator movements.

We require a $5,000 non-refundable retainer, credited in full to your final invoice. If plans change, the retainer remains on account for up to three years. Engagement includes full program management, from charter logistics to ground transportation and security coordination – ensuring safe, seamless movement across one of the world’s most complex landscapes.

Cessna Citation CJ3

A pressurized light jet configured for faster transport, the CJ3 offers comfortable travel between Papua New Guinea’s larger airports. Seating up to 7 passengers with a maximum payload of 850kg. It’s also capable of regional hops to Cairns, Brisbane, Sydney, the Solomon Islands, Fiji, and even the Raja Ampat region. While not suited for PNG’s remote bush strips, it works well when stitching together key hubs across the region.

Twin Otter DHC-6

The Twin Otter is one of the most trusted aircraft in Papua New Guinea – valued for its rugged build, excellent safety record, and ability to land on short, unpaved airstrips. With seating for up to 19 passengers and a freight capacity of up to 2 tonnes, it’s ideal for larger families, gear-heavy expeditions, and fly-in fly-out charters. Unpressurised but incredibly nimble, it’s the go-to for reaching villages and airstrips in the Highlands, Gulf region, and beyond – places jets simply can’t go.

BK117 Helicopter

A German-Japanese-engineered workhorse, the BK117 is a twin-engine helicopter trusted worldwide for its safety, stability, and performance. Designed to land in tight, rugged spaces, it’s perfectly suited for touching down in clearings near villages so remote they’ve seen little more than the occasional missionary. Quiet, capable, and built for the wild

Bell 222 Helicopter

A sleek, twin-engine icon from American aerospace, the Bell 222 is known for its quiet ride, reliability, and executive-level comfort. Its spacious, climate-controlled cabin and smooth flight handling make it a favorite for covering long distances over dense jungle terrain and rugged landscapes. With strong safety credentials and the power to fly on one engine, it’s ideal for accessing hard-to-reach places in both style and confidence.
