Unlke the Nauruans they have not pissed it away on breweries, pubs, casinos, ships and (so far) airlines.
I seem to recall they dropped $20m (or more) some time back (late 1970's?) with the Air Tungaru 727-100.
Had a huge payout from the Brits from the Ocean Island (Banaba) settlement that went pretty quickly.
The aircraft went to Bloodstock after it's Kiribati working life; a fairly interesting tale.

Zanzibar, yes they certainly have applied to the IASC. They are about to enter into a very finite market, however, with Big China's money behind them, they appear to have massive resources to throw at the market. First of type in the Central Pacific also ensure the Brazilians will work very hard to enable success. I am sure Pionair (not new to the industry) and Air Kiribati understand how big the Pacific Ocean is and its even bigger ability to swallow huge wads of money. Best of luck to all concerned.
Virgin had the first “classic” ejets that were etops certified. Not sure how many other operators took up the option.
I can’t imagine embraer, particularly with the impending sale to Boeing, would be too keen to go through the expense of certifying the aeroplane for etops without a customer and some sort of likelihood of a return on their investment.

VAs E-jets were not EDTO/ETOPS certified. Before 2014 the non EDTO threshold was 90 mins before CASA removed this. Now it's 60 min thresholds or you are EDTO. The aircraft is 120 min capable, not sure if the E2 is 120 min certified yet, can't find much online

With supposed plans to take it to Christmas/Cassidy (PLCH), I’d expect Embraer to be working hard towards the 120min title (if it isn’t already, which sounds like thats the situation). You know, help their launch customer out and prove that their aircraft can do long distance remote operations successfully. I suspect Emb have a lot riding on this aircraft.
I doubt there’s a way to get to Cassidy with only 60mins.
NGTA all the way to Bris and NZAA can be done with minimal diversions off the direct track to maintain within 60. Range/performance dependant of course, I have no idea about the E2’s capability.
NFFN not so much, unless Funafuti gives them the ok to use their strip. I don’t know the ACN and PCNs..

New business setup in New Zealand as Air Kiribati International of which Pionair is 49% shareholder, yet Kiribati government is funding the purchase and setup of E2 operations

Are these aircraft registered as "T3" prefix?
Just curious as a former PNG Beech 200 P2-ALC was apparently sold to Kiribati a month or so ago? Just wondering if the B200 arrived and took up a Kiribati rego?
