PBair was an airline with its head office in the UBC II Building in Watthana district, Bangkok, Thailand.[1] It operated scheduled domestic and international services. Its main base was Suvarnabhumi Airport.[2] It ceased all operations in December 2009.

History

The airline was founded in 1990 by Piya Bhirom Bhakdi, the president of the Boon Rawd Brewery, the largest in Thailand. It was originally used for flights for brewery staff only. In 1995, it received a license to offer charter flights and started operations in 1997. In February 1999, it started scheduled flights, in alliance with Thai Airways International, Bangkok Airways and Air Andaman. In November 2009 all flights were suspended until further notice. In December 2009 the owner announced that the airline was to be closed for good, and would not restart operations because of huge losses. The closure occurred with the authorities on 21 December 2009.[citation needed]
