Read More » Passengers travelling on connecting itineraries which include flights on Air Niugini and Solomon Airlines can now receive boarding passes for both legs of the journey and have their checkin luggage tagged through to their final destination. The through checkin capability was tested last week on connections involving Air Niugini flight PX082 from Port Moresby to Honiara and Solomon Airlines flight IE702 from Honiara to Nadi, as well as the return journey from Nadi to Port Moresby via Honiara. "This is another positive step in strengthening our partnership with Air Niugini and improving the travel experience for our passengers," Solomon Airlines CEO, Matthew Findlay, said. Air Niugini CEO, Alan Milne, said: "This reflects the value of cooperation between Pacific carriers in improving travel across our region. We are pleased to work with Solomon Airlines on initiatives that strengthen the links between Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands and other destinations, while creating a more connected travel experience for our customers."
