AN international airline company based in Australia, last week sent its chief executive officer to see if their planes could land and operate in and out of Buka in the Autonomous Region of Bougainville.
The airline known as Our Airline, formerly known as Air Nauru now based in Australia, currently flies from Australia to all the South Pacific countries including the Solomon Islands.
According to the chief executive officer Geof Bowmaker, their B737 aircraft can get direct flights into Buka from Honiara or Cairns and on to Rabaul, and Port Moresby.
Mr Bowmaker told New Dawn FM that they could start with three flights a week to Buka and later they could provide lighter aircrafts to mainland Bougainville.
