Palau Pacific Airways (PPA) was a charter airline from Palau. The airline launched scheduled charter flights between Hong Kong and its base Koror on 7 November 2014. 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] The airline was forced to stop its operations due to a lack of Chinese tourists after China had declared Palau an “illegal tour destination” due to Palau maintaining links with Taiwan.[2]
