Airlines PNG and JDA Wokman Limited have joined forces creating a strategic alliance to cater for the influx of workers into Papua New Guinea to service the booming resources industry. Airlines PNG provides a comprehensive air service network throughout Papua New Guinea and internationally to Brisbane and Cairns.

Airlines PNG also offers connections to most destinations in Australia and New Zealand and a growing number of international destinations through its association with the Virgin Blue Group.

JDA Wokman has been operating in Papua New Guinea since 1991 and has been delivering a broad range of business and human resource services to clients across several industries making it the longest established company of this type in the country.

“The influx of workers coming into PNG has created business opportunities for many companies but the additional administrative workload also creates challenges”, said Stephen Grey, General Manager of JDA Wokman. “Our strengths are in people management, recruitment and selection so the solution offered by Airlines PNG has freed us up to focus on what we do best. It’s a real win/win for both companies,” Mr Grey added.

Clients of JDA Wokman will now have the ability to manage all of their travel requirements direct through JDA Wokman utilising a “real time” booking facility installed by Airlines PNG. “JDA Wokman is a great PNG company and we are very pleased to be working with them.

Airlines PNG is committed to making the travel experience simpler and more effective for everyone. Through this partnership with JDA Wokman we will manage the travel needs of their clients which allows them to focus on their core business at the same time,” said Scott Roworth, Chief Commercial Officer of Airlines PNG.

“As the largest corporate charter airline in Papua New Guinea, Airlines PNG flies contract charters for almost every major resource company in the country on projects including the PNG LNG program. We also provide a high quality corporate product on our extensive scheduled network and a dedicated Reservations Centre for our corporate customers,” said Mr Roworth.

This innovative arrangement is yet another example of two leading Papua New Guinea companies working together to meet the needs of local industry and community.
