History
Kang Pacific Airlines was established in 2006 and launched in 2008 with a goal to operate as Fujairah's first low cost airline. Kang Pacific Airlines (KPA) was initially planned to shuttle passengers between Fujairah and three key countries: the UK, India, and the Philippines.[1]
In 2008, Kang Pacific launched its maiden flight to the Philippines, operating initially with two leased DC-10s.[2] Kang Pacific Airline flights started and stopped in June 2008 It's only flight was on 6 June 2008, from Fujairah to Manila and back. The airline sent notices to passengers that the flights had been cancelled, and that they should contact the KPA office for refunds. Though according to some passengers, the calls went unanswered, and no refunds were given. Mr Kang's mobile phone has been off since August 2008, and his whereabouts is apparently unknown.[1]
