PACIFIC AIRLINES FAILS

Vietnam’s Pacific Airlines Fails To Pay More Than $10 Million So Planes Repossessed.

On the 26th January 2005 I conducted the last flight in S7 RGJ, a Pacific Airlines A321, from Saigon to Hanoi, Vietnam.

The Aircraft was parked. Manuals, headsets and other Orion Air documentation was removed from the flight deck, and the aircraft was locked-up.

At 0800 on the 27th the leasing company removed S7-RGL's registration from the Seychelles register, preventing the aircraft from being flown.

The Pilots on the associated contract with Orion Air, the company owed money by Pacific Airlines, have now been retrenched.
