Airlines Tonga was an airline based in Nukuʻalofa, Tonga. It operated services within Tonga and flights are operated on its behalf by Air Fiji.[2]
The airline started operations in December 2005 as a joint venture partnership between Air Fiji (49%) and Tongan travel agency Teta Tours (51%).[2] Airlines Tonga became the second domestic airline of Tonga after Peau Vavaʻu.[3]
On August 23, 2008, Airlines Tonga ceased all activity indefinitely, citing its inability to meet rising fuel costs.[4]
