Yao and Subic Secretary of Clark Alliance for Development Council (SCADC) Edgardo Pamintuan led the inaugural flight of Zest Air, the second budget carrier to operate internationally at DMIA.

A simple send-off ceremony was held at the DMIA VIP Lounge at terminal 1 last Saturday afternoon.

Zest Air (formerly Asian Spirit) used its brand new Air Bus 320 with a capacity of 166 seats during its inaugural daily flight to Hong Kong that signaled the start of its full commercial operations at the DMIA here.

Roundtrip tickets for only $ 70 each were given by Zest Air as part of their promotional campaign at DMIA

Zest Air is second to Cebu Pacific as a local budget air carrier to operate international commercial operations at DMIA.
