In a message posted on its website, the embassy said U.S. citizens traveling to or living in Papua New Guinea must not travel on the airline until further notice.
It said embassy personnel could fly with Airlines PNG only with the approval of the U.S. ambassador to PNG and only for the embassy’s essential business.
It issued this directive following the airline’s plane crash on Oct 13 in Madang, when a Dash 8 crashed, killing 28 of the 32 people on board.
The embassy said Airlines PNG had experienced two plane crashes in the recent past, resulting in 41 deaths.
