New Pacific Airlines Ceases Operations: No Surprise, But Strange Timing

This reminds me of REX airlines in Australia. REX was a regional turbo prop provider that was doing fine it its niche. Then management had a grand idea of obtaining jets (B737) to compete directly with QANTAS and Virgin Australia. REX eventually went into administration (bankruptcy court) and now is trying to salvage the regional service.

New Pacific started as Ravn Airlines in Alaska with regional turbo prop service. Management got a wild hair and started Northern Pacific with four B757 jets. Due to a legal dust up, then changed the name to New Pacific. The Icelandic model went bust bankrupting both Ravn & New Pacific.

Who's next?!?

Ben, off topic question if you please?

Why do you allow anyone to come to your website and post derogatory comments using the login names of others?
Eskimo, is the most recent example of a claim of ‘stolen’ identity. Surely it is not beyond your technical ability to prevent such occurrences?

Hi Tim, hmm like all the Tim Dunn fanatics who make similar names and comment to troll you. Grow up.

Icarass, the brainless troll, it is the ignorant numpties like you who lower the tone of this site to the level of stupidity. Thank you for proving once again that only stupid answers emanate from the depths of the trolls sewer like mindset.

Was in Oz earlier this year and Rex is still operating, though, at a diminished capacity.

Get a room, you two!

(Seriously, though, enough with the calls to ‘ban’ others; ignore or engage.)

@Aerob13a, are you any better? The only thing you do here is accusing Ben of publishing clickbait articles (most of which us the majority of OMAAT readers find useful) and writing pointless comments meaning absolutely nothing.

At the same time, you aren't too wrong this time either.

That fake Eskimo perhaps even more annoying than the real one. Simply cringe.

Yet again, without fail, those who butt into a post which asks a legitimate question addressed to someone else, chose to respond with their own absolutely stupid answers.

Thank you for confirming that there is no such thing as a stupid question …. only stupid answers.

Numpties of this world unite …. 🙂

"only stupid answers."

Yeah. Just how you got the name of a guy you were responding wrong - just to give you an idea.

You've gotta love it when dumbasses prove your points by themselves without even asking them to do so.

Did they have a frequent flyer program? Who had the most miles lost and how many miles was lost?

This is a particularly inane conversation, considering that all (either of) you have to do, is be the first to register the screenname instead of chatting as a guest. Whoever does so, gets it, and loser walks.

REX has now been purchased by a US firm known as T-Air.

Seriously????

Hi there. Our goal is to ensure that you get the correct assistance. Please send us a DM with your whatsapp number and more details about what happened. We'll wait for your response.

Apologies [typing way too fast]. The above should read Air-T.

As long as they do not call them selves T-Rex like the Tyrannosaurus.
Could you imagine an image of the dinosaur on the tail of the turbo prop!! =8-)

When are we getting a similar update on Global Airlines? Can’t wait for the schadenfreude on that one.

Would flights from Anchorage to cities in east Asia really need to use Russian airspace?
