- On the 17th of December 1969 the first 2 Papua New Guineans commercial pilot graduated at the South Pacific Aero Club in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea. They were Minson L Peni from Djaul Island in New Ireland Province and Aria Bouraga from Kapa Kapa Village in Central Province, Papua Guinea.
That occasion opened eyes of many young Papua New Guineans who were longing to become pilots as career professionals in aviation.
minson L Peni and Aria Bouraga had shown to the people of Papua New Guinea that they can fly aeroplanes too, and that it is not white man's profession alone as many thought during that era.
Minson and Aria were later employed with Ansett Airlines as first officers flying their DC 3s. There employment to Ansett Airlines was recommended and supported by the Chief pilot of Ansett Airlines in Papua New Guinea, the late captain Argyle Arthur Glassy.
After Minson and Aria's achievement, many young Papua New Guineans were inspired to become pilots, so the department of civil aviation offered scholarships for young Papua New guineans to train as pilots with south Pacific Aero Club in Port Moresby.
Many tried but unsuccessful, they never reached commercial pilot level as Minson and Aria did. Many ended up with private pilot licenses which is a very restricted license, not allowed to carry paying passengers, only can use it as flying hobby, and not as a profession.
And then in 1970, a young lad from wanigela, Oro province graduated as second commercial pilot. His name is Berry Awui. Berry later became the first Papua New Guinean flying instructor at the Pacific Aero Club in Port Moresby.
Minson L Peni and Aria Bouraga flew with Ansett Airlines, and when air niugini was formed in November 1975 they were the first Papua New guineans to join and fly with air niugini.
In February 1974 Minson and Aria were sent to Cessnock in Hunter valley, New South Wales Australia to complete their senior commercial subjects before they can become Captains of commercial airlines.
Minson L Peni was the first Papua New Guinean flying instructor graduated from NASA fly academy in Cessnock. He trained many Papua New Guineans while he was employed by NASA as their flying instructor. Many of those Papua New Guineans are still flying and some passed on.

I flew as an Air Hostess back in the days of Ansett Airlines of PNG. I had the pleasure of flying with these two amazing people : Minson and Aria. I was saddened to learn that Minson has passed. Aria - if you get to read this - I send you best wishes I retired from flying when I reached 65 - Lapun tru....Cheers

I believed that the first Pilot is David Inau, if I am correct?
These both were the first commercial pilots who even made international flights
First two PNG commercial pilots. Aria and Minson
How about Peter Yasi
My beautiful father Mr Peter Yasi is not mentioned. How disappointing??? The computer generated voice message doesn't do justice either !!!😒
