Competition for Vava'u air service concerns Real Tonga
Thursday, May 14, 2015 - 23:16

Can understand the concern
Can understand the concern raised but sure better for Tonga as a whole, which after all is what we all need work for!
Requires adaption our own endeavors to sync with development but if Tonga is to start realize it's potential we all need do our bit. Painful at times but when better for the community as a whole definitely the way to go, as the saying goes "no pain no gain".

This is really sad, to see
This is really sad, to see our government jumping into bed with foreign company whiling kicking the Tongan own business in the gut... Government is well aware of the intention and future plan of Real Tonga, to better service Tonga domestically and also to service Fiji and Samoa but they kept making life difficult for RT and Mr. Palu. Then, now, allowing FIJI Air to come in... I wonder if FIJI Air will be willing to service the small islands, Hp, Eua, Niuas. Come on Tonga Government, where is your Loyalties lie???
