The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) has today accepted a formal request from the Papua New Guinea Accident Investigation Commission to assist with their investigation into yesterday's plane crash at Misima Island in PNG.

A team of three ATSB investigators will fly out this evening to arrive at Misima island by late tomorrow to work closely with the PNG authorities.

Given this is a PNG investigation, the primary contact for this investigation will be the PNG Accident Investigation Commission. The ATSB will respond to any queries about its involvement in the investigation.
