Airline slashes student fares
LOCAL airline Travel Air yesterday introduced big fare discounts for students.
The management said the “student fare” package offered 25% discounts.
A spokesperson from Travel Air told The National the student fare would be available year-round and the passengers must show proof that they were bona fide students.
“Students using Travel Air will now pay less,” management said in a statement.
Travel Air said it was prompted to offer big discounts after parents and students encouraged the airline on special fares.
“The discount reduces the base fare by 25% and applies only to economy fares,” the airline said.
“Students will be required to show proper identification when buying tickets and boarding the aircraft.”
Travel Air, Papua New Guinea’s newest airline, was started to take advantage of a specific gap that existed in the PNG air transport industry for a local airline that offered low-cost service.
The airline says it prides itself on air travel that is “safe, convenient, on-time and affordable”.
With its head office located in Madang, Travel Airs connects Port Moresby, Madang, Lae, Mount Hagen, Hoskins, Rabaul and Wewak via a fleet of four F50 Fokker aircraft, with both direct and connecting service year-round.
It also offers charter and cargo services.
