AYZZ/Papua New Guinea – affecting AYPY/Port Moresby, AYMH/Mt. Hagen
The elections today and tomorrow in Papua New Guinea have created civil unrest. Counting irregularities in the highlands city of Mt Hagen sparked violent protests that have gone for several days, and led to the burning of buildings on July 27. The city’s airport has been closed, residents were warned roads were blocked and there were reports of gunfire. MPs from the Opposition National Alliance party clashed with police and members of the governing People’s National Congress (PNC) party at the Port Moresby airport.
As many operators use AYPY as a tech stop in the Pacific, please check the latest before operating.
