Federated States of Micronesia President Emanuel Mori presented a proposal during the recently concluded Micronesian Presidents’ Summit to start a regional airline.
Moving forward with the proposal, the FSM has transmitted two air service agreements to establish approved direct air links between Palau, the FSM and the Marshall Islands.
The proposed Fly Micronesia airline will reportedly need $6 million dollars in start-up capital.
During the MPS meeting, the leaders discussed the Air Service Agreement, where the FSM proposed majority ownership of the airline and sought Palau and RMI’s partnership.
According to information from visit-micronesia.fm, United Airlines is the only airline currently servicing all four states of the FSM from Hawaii or Guam.
Palau and RMI Presidents noted FSM’s proposal for the regional airline during the leaders meeting in Palau.
