The Tonga Government has responded to criticism from King Tupou VI over its operation of troubled Lulutai Airlines.
The government airline has been dogged with mechanical issues since its inception under the previous administration.
The King had questioned finances around the airline and suggested the government shouldn't be operating such a business.
The Prime Minister Hu'akavameliku Siaosi Sovaleni says the government would continue to operate Lulutai but would seek a buyer.
Don Wiseman spoke with aviation engineer, Tevita Palu, who previously operated Real Tonga Airlines, and asked him if he was interested in linking up with Lulutai.
