Papua New Guinea Accident Investigation Commission

The Papua New Guinea Accident Investigation Commission (PNG AIC) is an agency of Papua New Guinea investigating aviation accidents and serious incidents. Its office is located in Tabari Haus Building, Level 1 Boroko, National Capital District.[1] In 2000 the National Parliament amended the Civil Aviation Act separating and establishing the current four separate State Aviation Enterprises in the sector, namely the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA PNG), PNG Air Services Limited (PNGASL), the Accident Investigation Commission (AIC), and the National Airports Corporation (NAC). This makes the AIC an independent agency that conducts investigations, compiles reports and makes safety recommendations under the Act. Papua New Guinea is a signatory to the Convention on International Civil Aviation. 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.

Previously the head office was Enga House 1.[2]

The AIC was formed after a 2008 ABC Australia exposé over air safety in PNG which revealed a lack of investigation of air disasters.[3]
