A Brief History of PDA Ferry Flights

Pacific Direct Airways has always delivered its own aircraft, from place of purchase, then
 on out to its Pacific destination. The airline was formed when UKDirect were unable
 to sell its two Boeing 747-200 aircraft which were moth-balled in Prestwick.
A new Division was formed, out in the Pacific, which would be
able to utilise UKDirects' unused fleet aircraft. First flights were the 747's from Prestwick to Fiji
 and Tahiti, later came the marathon ATR flights from the UK to the Pacific. The rest is History.
