AIRLINE - New Pacific Airlines ceases operations

On 26 November 2025, New Pacific Airlines announced that is has ceased all operations effective immediately and filed for bankruptcy.

Originally founded as Northern Pacific Airways in September 2021, the airline had big ambitions to connect US cities like Las Vegas (NV) and Los Angeles (CA) via Anchorage (AK) with destinations in Asia like Seoul and Tokyo.

In September 2023, it began however with operating regular flights between Las Vegas (NV) and Ontario (CA). It was forced to do so as the Japanese and South Korean authorities had not certified the airline but also the closure of Russian airspace prevented the airline from launching their plans.

After flying regular between Ontario (CA) and Las Vegas (NV), Nashville (TN), and Reno (NV), Northern Pacific Airways rebranded itself as New Pacific Airlines and positioned itself as a charter carrier. 

It reconfigured its fleet into a business class lay-out and mainly operated flights for sports teams and music bands.

Despite all of this, the airline never was able to post a profit and the losses became unsustainable to continue operating. 

It had a fleet of three Boeing B757-200s:

B757-2B7 N627NP (27808), stored at Mojave (CA) since 26 November 2025.

B757-2B7 N628NP (27809), stored at Mojave (CA) since 26 November 2025.

B757-2B7 N629NP (27810), stored at Farmingdale-Republic Airport (NY) since 21 November 2025.
