Former US Army pilot George A. Doole Jr. created Pacific as a Delaware corporation in 1950. He concealed the agency's involvement by shuffling aircraft continuously among various shell corporations and altering aircraft registration numbers, a tactic the agency apparently still uses (see N44982). The corporation dissolved in 1979 after selling its assets.
Pacific's affiliates included:
- Actus Technology
- Air America, originally named Civil Air Transport, defunct
- Air Asia Co. Ltd., air maintenance activity
- Intermountain Airlines, became Evergreen International Airlines
- Seaboard World Services
- Southern Air Transport, privatized as Southern Air
