New Thai cargo airline Pattaya Airways receives its air operator certificate 

Pattaya Airways, a new cargo airline based in Thailand, is celebrating news that it has received its air operator certificate (AOC) from the country’s Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). 

Pattaya Airways said that after nine months of “relentless effort and dedication” had finally led to the “significant achievement” of securing its AOC.  

Pattaya Airways, a subsidiary of Pattaya Group, intends to launch cargo services later this year with two ATR 72-500 freighters that it acquired earlier this year.  

“Today, we proudly step forward to receive the Air Operator Certificate (AOC) from the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand, a testament to our unwavering capability and high standards in aviation,” the airline said in a statement. 

Pattaya Airways added: “Thank you to everyone who has been part of our journey—this success is yours too! As we receive this prestigious certification, we are more equipped than ever to elevate your experience in the skies of Thailand.” 

It is understood that Pattaya Airways will offer cargo services in Thailand and on international routes within Asia with a fleet of five aircraft. 

Pattaya Airways also recently announced it had signed an air cargo transportation partnership agreement with ACE Global Logistics. 

Pattaya Airways said that the deal will enhance the efficiency of its air cargo systems.  

“The partnership will leverage the resources and expertise of both parties to provide high-quality cargo services that effectively meet the needs of customers in the ASEAN region. Additionally, this collaboration will expand the business networks of both companies, positioning them for broader opportunities in the future,” Pattaya Airways said.
