Palau Micronesia Air was an airline based in Palau. It operated services under the Air New Zealand air operators certificate. It suspended operations in December 2004.[1]
History
The airline was established in September 2002.[1] In October 2003 Air New Zealand reached an understanding with Palau Micronesia Air committing to provide a range of support services for the new company, including operating its aircraft under the Air New Zealand air operators certificate.[2] Operations started on 5 August 2004. It suspended operations on 23 December 2004, attributing it to high costs and under-performing sales.[1]
Services
It served Palau, Guam, Saipan, Micronesia, Australia and the Philippines. It was the first airline to provide direct service between Palau and Australia.[citation needed]
