Palau Pacific Airways (PPA) was a charter airline from Palau.
History
The airline launched scheduled charter flights between Hong Kong and its base Koror on 7 November 2014. It is often confused with Palau Airways although they are not associated with one another. The start-up intended to operate five times weekly charter services to Hong Kong Chek Lap Kok Airport. The carrier wet-leased a Boeing 737-800 aircraft on an annual contract from Slovakian Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance and Insurance (ACMI) operator: Air Explore. [1]
Palau Pacific Airways had expanded to service Taipei, Taiwan on January 30, 2016. The airline shut down on 31 August 2018. [2]
The airline was forced to stop its operations due to a lack of Chinese tourists after China had declared Palau an “illegal tour destination”, because Palau continues to maintain links with Taiwan. [3]
In January 2019, the airline was rebounded as Palau Asia Pacific Air,, and it serves both Macau and Hong Kong. The airline is also proposing a new destination to Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport. [4]
