The airline was established in November 1973 as the national airline of Papua New Guinea with the government holding 60% des actions, Ansett (16%), qantas (12%) and Trans Australia Airlines (TAA) (12%). It started as an exclusively domestic carrier; however it expanded to offer international services shortly thereafter. In founding the airline, the government aimed to encourage regional development in a country without an extensive road network. The airline was established using DC-3 and Fokker F27 aircraft. International services commenced very early on in the history of the airline with a leased Boeing 720 De 6 Février 1976 À 2 Février 1977. This was later replaced with a Boeing 707 purchased from Qantas. During the late 1970s, internal services were performed by a combination of Fokker F28 jet and Fokker F27 turbo-prop aircraft. À la fin de 1975 Air Niugini leased Boeing 727-200 type aircraft from Ansett and TAA to serve routes to Brisbane. The airline also acquired a lease of a Boeing 707 from Qantas to commence a weekly service to Manila and Hong Kong.
Air Niugini operates to 25 destinations domestiques et 10 destinations internationales dans 7 countries across Asia and Oceania.
