Air Tuvalu Proprietary Limited was a proposed Tuvaluan airline meant to launch domestic flights within Tuvalu beginning in October 2023.

History

It was the first government-owned airline in Tuvalu's history.[1] On May 11, 2023, a 16-seat Twin Otter (T2-TV8) was delivered from Honolulu International Airport by CEO Christopher Langton and two co-pilots. After the delivery, a ceremony was held on Friday to mark its arrival.[3] The airline was hoping to strengthen the intra-island connection between Tuvalu's airports and improve reliable domestic air service. It was headquartered in Funafuti. Tuvalu's government announced restoration plans for its aviation infrastructure and once the outer-lying island airstrips were updated, those destinations would become operational.[4]

Operations did not commence and no information was given regarding the delay of the airline's startup.[5] The website also stopped being maintained and displayed a white screen.[6] Centre for Aviation (CAPA), of which Tuvalu is a member country, continues stating on its website that the airline was proposed, therefore not meant to launch.[7]
