Royal Pacific Air is a Part 135 air carrier and sister company to Pacific Flight Academy. Based in Hawaii, Royal Pacific Air operates the Cessna Grand Caravan — a single-engine turboprop widely used in commercial aviation.
Qualified flight instructors and select commercial pilots who trained at PFA will have the opportunity to build turbine pilot-in-command time with Royal Pacific Air. This turbine experience is highly valued by regional and major airlines, giving our pilots a competitive edge in the hiring process.
