Government celebrates inaugural flight into FSM

Nauru's national air carrier - Nauru Airlines - flew to Kosrae and Pohnpei in the Federated States of Micronesia for the inaugural flight at the weekend, 12 June connecting the north and south on a weekly basis.
 
The new route will provide more travel options and facilitate and encourage trade between the north, central and southern Pacific region.
 
The new destinations will connect with existing services to Brisbane, Nauru, Nadi, Tarawa and Majuro.
 
As the plane landed in Pohnpei on 12 June it was received with a water salute from the Pohnpei fire service as it taxied along the runway.
 
The Nauru delegation led by His Excellency President Baron Waqa was greeted and welcomed with the traditional sakau drinking ceremony at the airport.
 
The official event for the inaugural flight was hosted the following evening (13 June) by Nauru Airlines at the Mangrove Bay hotel.
 
In his welcome address Nauru Airline's Chief Executive Officer Geoffrey Bowmaker said the airline has seen great support for its development and the foundation laid for progress, thanks to the support of President Waqa, Minister David Adeang and the government Cabinet.
 
President Waqa was personally encouraged with the partnership between Majuro and the FSM and the development of air services in the region.
 
"It has been 15 years since Air Nauru last serviced Pohnpei with regular flights.  The absence of an operator linking south, central and north Pacific has hampered the development of business, trade and family links because of the high cost and long travel times between our countries.
 
"These flights will offer our people even more choice of travel opportunities between our nations and bring more overseas visitors into our countries as well.
 
"I understand as well that studies are proceeding whereby Nauru Airlines is reviewing the possibility of services that will reach further into the other FSM states, and perhaps, beyond," President Waqa said.
 
Other speeches followed including the presentation of the Nauru Airlines air services permit to President Baron Waqa by FSM President Peter Christian.
