Kiribati calls for regional air support

Last Updated: Sat, 3 Jan 2009 10:40:00 +1100

The government of Kiribati is asking airlines across the Pacific to register any interest they may have in providing international and domestic air services.

Currently Kiribati has only one international air service, with Fiji's Air Pacific providing a service from Nadi to Tarawa.

Nauru based Our Airline cancelled its Brisbane to Tarawa flights in June last year.

In a statement Kiribati is asking for expressions of interests in providing services from its regional neighbours to Tarawa and to Christmas Island as well as services linking domestic destinations.
