Pacific Air Cargo
The Freight Nirvana for Hawaii and Neighboring Islands
Tanja Janfruechte, CEO & President and Paul Skellon, Director of Marketing, Communications and PR
Now, with daily shipments averaging more than 250,000 pounds to Hawaii, some of the world’s remotest islands, PAC continues to tackle pandemic-induced disruptions, higher freight costs, skyrocketing fuel prices, and labor shortages that are affecting freight forwarders and airlines throughout the industry.
In addition to shipping, PAC provides in-house warehousing, cargo handling, and aircraft ground handling services. The company also has competitive resources to support the military and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in carrying out relief missions during natural disasters, providing a vital link with communities throughout the Pacific.
“PAC is a logistics center for the reception and distribution of medical supplies, water, and power generators to the islands.
In its 22 years of service, PAC created numerous success stories. The ones that stand out come from its remarkable effort in battling the challenges of the pandemic. When COVID-19 hit the Hawaii Islands, the company helped hospitals cope with oxygen shortages by flying in oversized tanks and returning them to the mainland to be replenished. PAC is perhaps the only air cargo operator to support the scaling of the renewable energy sector in Hawaii. It has transported huge components of wind turbine machinery to Hawaii to support the windfarms that help to increase the state’s renewable energy production. When a filtration system fault in an aquifer led to water contamination across Oahu, forcing tens of thousands of people to survive on bottled water, PAC flew in the necessary equipment to support the urgent effort to restore clean water.
We offer a vital lifeline to these communities, for we create that much-needed, reliable connection between them and the U.S. mainland,” says Paul Skellon, Director of Marketing, Communications, and PR for PAC. Furthermore, the company can provide transportation of oversized vehicles, livestock and pets, and perishable produce.
PAC stays up to date with the evolving security directives of the Transport Security Administration (TSA), FAA and other regulations mandated by the airport authority. PAC is also widely known for its flexibility and capacity to add additional flights and charter opportunities to accommodate their clients’ requirements.
To better serve its clients, PAC continues to enhance its innovative and automated advisory system and tracking tool, PACTRAK. This state-of-the-art technology enables customers to track cargo in real-time. It also notifies them of any shipping delays to prevent freight forwarders from incurring additional costs of labor and fuel.

Aiming to script many more success stories, PAC is upping its scheduled flight frequency from the current six days to seven and is widening its network throughout the Pacific. The company is also constructing a dedicated air-conditioned VIP pet reception area at its Honolulu facility. “Pacific Air Cargo is really a unique company in the market because of our ability to be so flexible and to make significant, and timely decisions. It means we offer responsive, cost-effective, expert cargo, warehousing, and charter opportunities to help our partners scale their businesses,” concludes PAC’s CEO & President, Tanja Janfruechte.

Pacific Air Cargo is the Presenting Sponsor of St. Jude Hospital Radiothon for the 3rd Year

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, opened by Danny Thomas in 1962, now has the world’s best survival rates on the toughest cases of childhood cancer. Since its beginning when the survival rate for children with cancer was about 20%, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital has helped to improve that number to 80% today.
St. Jude treats children from all 50 U.S. states and countries around the world. Beyond treating the most difficult cases, St. Jude conducts more clinical trials than any other children’s hospital and turns laboratory discoveries into lifesaving treatments that benefit patients every day. By freely sharing their knowledge base and discoveries, doctors and scientists worldwide can use the information to save thousands more children.
“It gives me, and all of our Pacific Air Cargo Team Members, great pride to support worthy causes throughout Hawaii through the caring and charitable activities of PAC Gives Back,” stated Tanja Janfruechte, Pacific Air Cargo CEO. “The work of St Jude Children’s Research Hospital is one that particularly touches all our hearts.”
Families whose child is receiving care at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, or its affiliates never receive a bill for treatment, travel, housing or food — enabling them to focus on helping their child to survive. This and other fundraising efforts help them to be able to do so. St. Jude’s vision for the future is to expand its ability to admit 20% more children, focus on other diseases like sickle cell anemia and other blood disorders and to unlock the mysteries of cancer.
“Pacific Air Cargo is delighted to again support this very worthy cause, raising vital funds to support keiki and their Ohana right here in Hawaii,” said Paul Skellon, Pacific Air Cargo Director of Marketing.
