Australian Defence Force assists PNG Defence Force with Aircraft
The PNG's Defence Force will now have two new PAC-750XL aircraft, thanks to Australia's Defence Force.
The two aircraft will increase the PNGDF’s sovereign aviation capabilities, which provide important services to the Government and people of Papua New Guinea.

The agreement was signed at the Australian International Airshow by Major General Mark Goina and his counterpart General Angus Campbell.
The PAC-750XL aircraft will provide the PNGDF with additional transport and operational capacity to respond to domestic and regional incidents and will have the ability to be quickly reconfigured for different activities.
The aircraft will provide new opportunities for ADF and PNGDF personnel to work alongside one another and make our defence forces even closer.
The first aircraft will be delivered by April and the second by September 2023.
