- Date: May 31, 1995
- Aircraft: Fokker F28 Fellowship
- Location: Madang, Madang, Papua New Guinea
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The crew adopted the wrong approach configuration and landed long on a wet runway in poor visibility, leaving too little distance to stop.
An Air Niugini F28 on a night service from Lae landed at Madang in heavy rain after the crew had abandoned a first approach. The aircraft touched down about 300 metres past the threshold on a wet runway and overran into a ravine. All occupants stayed aboard until they could be evacuated, and no one was injured, but the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
