$200,000 missing on Sydney-PNG flight

Thursday, 02 Jul, 2008 0

Police in Australia and Papua New Guinea are investigating the disappearance of about $A200,000 in cash while it was being flown from Sydney to Port Moresby.

The currency was reported missing on June 13 after vanishing en route from Sydney to a Port Moresby bank, via Brisbane, PNG’s Post-Courier reported.

The cash was being flown to PNG aboard an Air Niugini flight, through cargo processes operated by Qantas.

An Australian security company had ordered a PNG security company to pick up the cash from Port Moresby airport on June 7, but Air Niugini claims the cargo never made it to PNG.

Air Niugini, Qantas, three security companies and two freight companies are now looking at their records and interviewing staff to try to determine what happened to the cash.

Once these inquiries are complete, PNG and Australian police are expected to launch their own investigations.

An Air Niugini official declined to comment.
