Pacific Air Express was an airline based in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It operated cargo services to Honiara, Nauru, Noumea, Port Moresby and Port Vila; and charter flights in the South Pacific area.[1][2] Its main bases were Brisbane Airport and Honiara International Airport.[3][4]
History
The airline was established in 1993 by Australian expatriate Gary Clifford (Managing Director/CEO) and a business partner from the Solomon Islands. The airline was originally based in Honiara but relocated due to civil unrest in 1999. It had 35 employees as of March 2007.[3] In 2021 its wet lease agreement with Qantas Freight on the Melbourne to Perth route ended, being replaced with Express Freighters Australia Airbus A321-200P2Fs.
Fleet
In October 2021 the airline's final aircraft (a Boeing 757-200 registered VH-PQA) left Australia.[5] The airline owns a second Boeing 757-200 (registration N314ST, msn 22211) but it remains in storage in Budapest, having never actually flown to Australia.[6] The airline appears now to be dormant.
