c'mon kosrae, solomons, kiribati, marshalls, tuvalu, nauru, ponape, anyone else? you all deserve a regional airline that works for all of you and that keeps the jobs and monies home.
I agree
brassplate but can you imagine the s**t fight that would go on in appointing any sort of management or forming a route structure.
I've always found it almost impossible for the island nations (as much as I love 'em) to agree on inter island matters - but when there is trouble or donations available from outside the region, that's when they do offer a united front.
As one High Commissioner put it to me "there's plenty of guilt money out there - especially from Europe" and that may be the answer. Get the EU to sponsor an airline which would suit the island nations as a group.
