History

On October 9, 1990, Pacific East Asia Cargo Airlines, Inc. (PEAC) was officially formed and on 20 December 1991 was granted a certificate of public convenience and necessity (CPCN) to operate scheduled international all-cargo services. [1]

On the September 1, 1999, the airline came to a cargo agreement with local airline, Air Philippines. [1] During 2002 the airline operated freighter flights to Hong Kong using A300F type aircraft leased from the Turkish Airline, MNG Airlines, [4] freighter flights to Taipei using a Boeing 727F and domestic freighter flights to Cebu and Clark utilizing another B727 freighter. [1]

In the period 2007 to 2011, PEAC was the fifth largest cargo carrier in the Philippines with a market share of 3.17%, transporting 23.3 million kilograms. [5]

But on March 19, 2010, its air operator's certificate was suspended, and eleven days later on March 30, the airline was added to the European list of banned air carriers until June 25, 2015. [6] By the end of 2010, the company ceased operations. [7]

[1] During a tie-up with TNT, PEAC leased four Bae 146 aircraft from TNT Airways, at the end of the lease in 1999 the aircraft were returned to Europe. [8] The TNT-PEAC joint-venture also considered re-locating the airline's hub from Manila's Ninoy Aquino International Airport to nearby Olongapo's Subic Bay International Airport. [9]
