Grand International Airways (or Grand Air) was a short-lived airline in the Philippines during the mid to late 1990s.

Grand Air was owned by the Panlilio family, which also owned Grand Boulevard Hotel in Roxas Boulevard, Philippine Village Hotel (Airport Hotel) and Puerto Azul - a resort hotel in Cavite.
Towards the mid 1990s, Grand Air used to fly to Hong Kong Kai Tak using their Airbus A300s.
The airline was forced to fold operation due to mounting debt problem with its Taiwanese creditors.
