The National Airports Corporation (NAC) and the Morobe Provincial Government (MPG), through its commercial arm, Nadzab Development Corporation Ltd (NDC), have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to collaborate in establishing infrastructure and public service delivery at Nadzab Tomodachi International Airport (NTIA).
Morobe Governor Luther Wenge and NAC Acting Managing Director Dominic Kaumu signed the MOU on Thursday 26th June 2025 at Nadzab Tomodachi International Airport, witnessed by executives of the MPG, Nadzab Development Corporation, NAC and the landowners.
Under the MOU, both parties have come to an understanding to:

ยท Facilitate the construction of an office complex, transit lodge or hotel, and participate in NACโs proposed Aviation Academy as part of the airport precinct.
MPG has already committed K4 million in its 2024 budget to support any initiatives arising from this MOU, and both parties have pledged to work within NACโs Nadzab Airport Master Plan and regulatory frameworks to ensure safety, viability, and shared developments.
With the signing of the MOU, the parties have committed to form a joint working group to progress discussions.
