Regular scheduled services commenced after the delivery in January 1972 of the airline's first Fokker F28 Fellowship twin jet, registered C2-RN1 (a second Fellowship, C2-RN2, was subsequently placed into service as well). A Boeing 737-200 (C2-RN3) was added to the fleet in 1975 and a Boeing 727-100 (C2-RN4) entered service on 16 June 1976. Later in the 1970s the two Fellowships were sold to Air Niugini and more Boeings were added to the fleet.

Nauru (/nɑːˈuːruː/ nah-OO-roo or /ˈnɑːruː/ NAHR-oo), officially the Republic of Nauru (Nauruan: Repubrikin Naoero) and formerly known as Pleasant Island, is an island country in Micronesia in the Central Pacific. Its nearest neighbour is Banaba Island in Kiribati, 300 kilometres (186 mi) to the east. With 9,488 residents in a 21-square-kilometre (8.1 sq mi) area, Nauru is the smallest state in the South Pacific and third smallest state by area in the world, behind only Vatican City and Monaco.
Settled by native peoples from Micronesia and Polynesia, Nauru was annexed and claimed as a colony by the German Empire in the late 19th century. After World War I, Nauru became a League of Nations mandate administered by Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. During World War II, Nauru was occupied by Japanese troops, who were bypassed by the Allied advance across the Pacific. After the war ended, the country entered into UN trusteeship. Nauru gained its independence in 1968.

Glasses raised we all say cheers
Could this be the one
Our new year
Even after all this time
I don't know why
Why you went away
Lately Im sure it's
You there waving
In the distance
Closer
The closer I get
Disappointment
It is, yes it is
They just have the same color of your hair
You're not there
You're not there
Every corner that I turn
I've convinced myself
One day you'll be there
Choruses of Auld Lang Syne
Could this be the year
Yours and mine
Lately Im sure it's
You there waving
In the distance
Closer
The closer I get
Disappointment
It is, yes it is
They just have the same color of your hair
You're not there
You're not there
You're not there
You're not there
You're not there
You're not there
You're not there
You're not there
Glasses raised we all say cheers
Could this be the one
This could be the one
Could this be the one
Our new year
