History
Kang Pacific Airline was incorporated in the United Kingdom in 2005. Paul Kang founded the company in 2006, following Fujairah Govt. sponsorship approach to operate a low-cost airline between India and the Philippines. The airline originally provided DC10 aircraft but due to less demand by charter companies, operation started with MD83 using a partner company in Philippine and successfully operated for two years.
In 2008, the airline was awarded a contract to fly between the Philippines and Hong Kong, but lack of demand for a charter company to operate in UAE and Asia due to the global recession the idea was dropped. Kang decided to move back to Europe and continue his operation in Europe with lease and aircraft purchasing. Kang Pacific Airline has now diversified into several companies which include distribution and transportation.
Destinations
The inaugural flight of Kang Pacific Airlines was from Fujairah to Manila, via the Bangladeshi capital, Dhaka. Other routes originally planned to follow included East Midlands Airport (the UK) via Fujairah to Amritsar in India Punjab.
