Golden Pacific began service in March 1969 with flights from Ukiah and Santa Rosa to San Francisco International Airport.[5] The airline served 15 cities by 1970, but was found by the California Public Utilities Commission to have operated at a loss for its first 16 months.[6]

In 1972, Golden Pacific was reported to have sold four of its Beech 99 aircraft it had used on its scheduled Northern California service, and was leasing two Twin Otters from Golden West Airlines pending approval from the Civil Aeronautics Board of an application to operate the Corvair 600.[7] This application was denied later the same year.[8]
