Based in Majuro, the airline flies to various atolls in the Marshall Islands sev eral times a week. These include Ebon, Namdrik, Tinak, Mili, Kwajalein, Lae,
Enewetak, Wotje, Bikini, Woja and Maloelap.
Air Marshall Islands took delivery of its first Saab in June 1995 and immediate ly introduced it on the Majuro-to-Fiji route.
Sector lengths in this sparsely populat ed part of the world are long and services benefit from the speed of the Saab 2000.

Air Marshall Islands takes pride in ser vicing its customers with a high standard aircraft and is dedicated to continuing this. What you get is service with a smile, usually known as the Marshallese style. ■
