[edit] History

Don Collingwood, a pilot and businessman, founded what became Pacific Sun in 1980, under the name Sunflower Airlines, which later changed to Sun Air. It began with a single Britten Norman BN2 Islander aircraft, flying the Nadi-Taveuni route. By January 2007, its fleet had grown to 12 aircraft, and the company employed nearly 140 staff.^[1] On 31 January 2007 Sun Air was handed over to current parent company Air Pacific, which had to fight off legal challenge by rival domestic carrier Air Fiji against the handover. .^[2]
