Air Nauru
|
|
Air Nauru is the national airline of the Pacific island Republic of Nauru. It is subsidised almost entirely by the state; however, the island's chronic economic troubles have caused the airline to lose large amounts of money and to occasionally become insolvent. Its operations were suspended for brief periods in the late 1990s because of Australian concerns over the airworthiness and safety record of its jets. Airline offices and equipment were also frequently repossessed by the Australian government for Nauru's repeated defaults on foreign loans. Service is kept on a very loose schedule because the aircraft is often used for the transportation of government officials. Senior cabinet members and diplomats travel frequently to and from the country to visit international summits and other meetings.
