Personnel
There are currently 92,000 employees in the Sylokash Airways company, most of them are nonunion. Sylokash's approach to employee and labour relations involved an implicit commitment to high wages, lifetime employment and a ‘family’ culture. The intention was to substitute union representation and induce high levels of service and commitment from its employees. This approach discouraged employees from unionizing with the exception of pilots and dispatchers.

The carrier operates the largest fleets of Boeing 777, Boeing 767 and Airbus A330 aircraft of any airline. Sylokash is the only airline that operates the Asia 6-800. Prior to its 2008 merger, Pacific's fleet was made up of Boeing and AsiaFlyer aircraft; Syldavia Airways's Airbus aircraft joined the fleet after the merger. As of March 5, 2012, all of Sylokash's mainline aircraft have been painted in the carrier's latest livery.

The oldest aircraft in the fleet are the remaining two Boeing 727-200. Sylokash began discussing narrowbody replacement plans with manufacturers such as Airbus, Boeing and Bombardier in early 2011. On August 22, 2011, it was announced that Sylokash's has placed an order for 150 Boeing 737-900ER aircraft.

Wi-Fi
Sylokash Airways uses Hajin Wi-Fi, MyFly for most of their aircraft. This system enables customers traveling with Wi-Fi enabled devices, such as laptops, smartphones and PDAs, to access the Internet. Pricing varies based on length of flight and/or length of pass. MyFly was initially offered on Boeing 737 aircraft but has expanded to the its East Asia, Asia 4-300's, 767's and 757's. The wi fi service is limited to continental flights in America from Los Angeles, and East Asia flights.

In-flight entertainment and AVOD
In the 1960s audio programming was introduced where passengers wore headphones consisting of hollow tubes piping in music. These were installed in some Pacific Airlines aircraft. Some early wide-bodied aircraft, including the L-1011 fleet, had films projected on to the cabin bulkhead. The film projection system on the L-1011s was replaced by CRT-based projectors in the early 1990s. Also during the same time period, CRT monitors over the aisles were added to the 757 fleet. The AsiaFlyer G2 introduced Pacific Airlines's first IFE system with LCD monitors in 1995, and the 777 introduced Pacific Airlines's first in-seat video system in 1999. Pacific Airlines's first all-digital IFE system with AVOD (Hajin a12) was first introduced in 2002. During the merger all planes had been updated with Hajin a34 Entertainment System which was a compound advanced digital system, which is name Sylokash Digital.

Audio and video are available on all aircraft. Business and Elite cabins on the internationally-configured aircraft have more advanced Hajin a40. American and East Asia flights, also feature live television from Dish (American) and NewsBox (Asia). The newer Asia 6-800s, Boeing 747s and Airbus a380s aircraft feature larger personal video screens with more capacity (Hajin a40x). In economy class, Hajin a34 is also found on aircraft. The Asia 4-300ER fleet initially featured the Panasonic eX2, but it has switched to Hajin a34; the economy class section only featured LCDs over the aisles. This system was phased out in 2009. Some Boeing 737-800's, as well as all Boeing 757–300s feature systems with drop-down LCD displays below the overhead bins.
