Start-up FLY CORALway aims June launch

FLY CORALway is a new airline based at Papeete in French Polynesia. It obtained its Air Transport License in November and is in the process of obtaining its Air Operator Certificate in order to launch in June.

The airline is planning to serve Fiji, New Caledonia, Samoa and Wallis & Futuna. It will not compete with Air Tahiti and Air Tahiti Nui, but rather supplement these two airlines and with it create additional flows of traffic for the other carriers.

According to FLY CORALway's website the airline is planning to launch operations with two A220-100s. Previously it said they were looking at both the ERJ190 and the A220.
