Senior French Polynesian government ministers have met a consultant planning to set up a new regional airline.

The government issued a statement saying they met Olivier Bole of Pacific Aero Consult but no further details were given.

The consultanc­y has been working on setting up a carrier, tentativel­y called Fly Coralway and Air Corail to improve connection­s mainly within the French Pacific.

The project businessma­n emanates from a Louis Alphonse who last year formed a company WF Aviation.

The plan has been to connect more island destinatio­ns, including Samoa,and Fiji with the French Pacific.

Earlier this year, the company said it wanted to co-operate with Air Tahiti Nui to access its network into North America and Europe and considers approachin­g Air New Zealand and also French Bee.
