Papua New Guinea Accident Investigation Commission

The office is located in Level 1, NAQIA Building, Morea-Tobo Road, 6 Mile, National Capital District.

The AIC cooperates with other Government agencies that have powers relating to transport safety, in particular the Department of Transport and Infrastructure, the Civil Aviation Authority, PNG Air Services Limited, and the National Maritime Safety Authority (NMSA).

In consequence, the GoPNG is required to investigate aviation accidents and serious incidents, and to publish the findings, in accordance with Annex 13 to the Convention.

The AIC has full-time investigation staff with a background in the aviation industry (flying operations, engineering, and air traffic control).

In addition to its own staff, the AIC may draw on industry expertise, both national and international, by appointing Expert Assessors to investigations if necessary and as provided for by Section 242 of the Act.
