Pacific Island Aviation

Pacific Island Aviation (PIA) was a commuter airline headquartered on the second floor of the Cabrera Center in Garapan, Saipan, Northern Mariana Islands.

It secured commuter airline status in February 1992 and started operations as such on 21 March 1992.

It became a codeshare partner with Continental Micronesia in December 1992 and took over flights to Guam, Rota and Saipan.

In February 1995 Continental discontinued its service to Rota and Pacific Island Aviation began codesharing with Northwest Airlines, becoming a Northwest Airlink carrier in February 1998.
