South Pacific continued to operate limited services until it ceased all operations in 1987. DestinationsSouth Pacific Island Airways served these destinations during its existence primarily flying Boeing 707 jet aircraft although small de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter turboprops were used for feeder service as well:[6][7] Canada
