Who We Are
LLA Drones PNG is a Papua New Guinea registered company established to support the national coordination of drone technology across key development sectors. We operate with a deep understanding of PNG’s logistical challenges and Government structures, ensuring drone deployment is not just innovative — but practical, compliant, and locally aligned.
We are owned and operated by LLA Properties Australia Pty Ltd, with all PNG-side leadership and project oversight managed by our in-country directors. Our company model prioritises Government engagement, structured sector rollout, and long-term scalability over short-term exposure or promotional activity.
Our Vision
To help Papua New Guinea build a safe, strategic, and Government-aligned drone coordination framework that strengthens public service delivery, improves rural access, and accelerates national development.
Our Mission
Our mission is to support PNG in integrating drone technology in a way that is coordinated, nationally regulated, and beneficial to all stakeholders — from departments and district offices to logistics planners, agencies, and rural communities.
We focus on:
Strategic guidance for sector-by-sector drone integration
Ensuring all activity aligns with national priorities such as MTDP IV and Vision 2050
Supporting civil aviation and regulatory compliance
Providing rollout models that fit PNG’s geography and delivery challenges
What We Do
LLA Drones PNG works directly with Government departments, district representatives, and strategic partners to:
Design structured deployment frameworks for drone-based logistics, data gathering, and outreach
Align proposed drone activities with regulatory and airspace requirements
Assist in interdepartmental collaboration and agency engagement
Present practical, cost-effective aerial solutions that serve PNG communities and development goals
Why We Exist
Papua New Guinea presents one of the most logistically complex environments in the region. Drones offer a chance to solve long-standing access, monitoring, and delivery challenges — but only if integrated through the right structure.
LLA Drones PNG exists to ensure drone technology is introduced in PNG through a responsible, Government-facing, and nationally coherent model. We are not operators or service advertisers. We are coordinators, planners, and strategic facilitators working for the benefit of PNG.
Our Commitment
✅ National Alignment
All activity supports PNG’s Medium Term Development Plan IV, Vision 2050, and Connect PNG.
✅ Government-Facing Operations
LLA works only under Government approval and does not act without authorisation or agency involvement.
✅ Compliance and Safety First
No project proceeds without regulatory clearance and civil aviation planning where applicable.
✅ Sustainable Implementation
We design rollouts that can scale from one district to many, with local oversight and long-term benefit.
