History

The airline was founded by Khun Peter Chan ("P.C.") in 2010. In January 2012, the PC Air's sole aircraft was impounded at South Korea's Incheon International Airport, leaving its passengers without alternative transport.[3] The airline sued its Korean sales agent, Skyjet, and oil company Jae Sin for 1.5 billion baht in compensation for damage to its reputation.[4] Despite attempts to find an investor, the airline ceased operations entirely in the same year after this incident.[5]

PC Air was the first airline in Thailand to hire Transgender flight attendants, they only selected four out of hundreds of applicants based on strict criteria and background check.[6]
