Grand International Airways (or Grand Air) was a short-lived airline in the Philippines which operated during the mid-to-late 1990s.

History

Script error: No such module "Unsubst". The airline was established when the Philippine Government started to deregulate its domestic aviation industry after decades of monopoly by Philippine Airlines, then wholly owned by the government.

Grand Air was owned by the Panlilio family, which also owned Grand Boulevard Hotel in Roxas Boulevard, Philippine Village Hotel (Airport Hotel) and Puerto Azul - a resort hotel in Cavite.

Towards the mid 1990s, Grand Air used to fly to Hong Kong Kai Tak Airport using their Airbus A300s.

The airline was forced to fold operation due to mounting debt problem with its Taiwanese creditors.
