Welcome to PMA's Aviation Services

Many islands served by Pacific Mission Aviation (PMA) were previously accessible only by small outrigger canoe and some remain that way to this day. High seas and rough waves often make this form of travel very treacherous, rendering many of the small islands totally isolated for weeks on end. Airdrops of relief supplies immediately after a typhoon may be the atoll’s only hope of survival. Often, we land on a nearby island, and still must travel an hour or two by outrigger canoe, navigating treacherous reefs, and often high waves, to reach some of the islands we serve! Our airplanes in Micronesia operate out of Yap, and out of the Republic of Palau. PMA has temporarily suspended the flight operations in the Philippines pending the acquisition of a suitable aircraft for unimproved runways in the islands we fly to.

Our pilots are highly skilled aviators with thousands of hours of flight experience and all carry U.S. commercial, multi-engine and instrument ratings. Although they may come from different backgrounds, they come to Micronesia and the Philippines with a common purpose: to serve the island people through aviation. Our maintenance personnel keep the aircraft up to U.S. standards and perform regular inspections in compliance with the intervals set forth by the manufacturer and the FAA.
