Air Marshall Islands

The airline was established in 1980 as Airline of the Marshall Islands; the current title was adopted in 1989. The airline is wholly owned by the Government of the Marshall Islands.

In January 2009, all flights were suspended while the airline's only plane, a 34-seat Bombardier Dash 8, suffered wing damage after colliding with an FAA antenna tower while being towed.{{cite news |last=Johnson |first=Giff |date=15 January 2009 |title=Air Marshall Islands only plane grounded |url=http://www.radionz.co.nz/international/pacific-news/181424/air-marshall-islands-only-plane-grounded |publisher=Radio New Zealand International |accessdate=19 September 2011}} Replacement parts were ordered, but flights were further delayed when the replacement part that arrived in February was for the wrong wing.{{cite web |url=http://www.yokwe.net/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=2338 |title=Archived copy |accessdate=2007-04-16 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110716055140/http://www.yokwe.net/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=2338 |archivedate=2011-07-16 }}
