A Milestone Achievement

South East Asian Airlines (SEAIR) is a pioneer in Philippine aviation. Since 1995, SEAIR has been bringing travelers visiting the Philippines to some of the most beautiful destinations in the world. Consistency, quality and reliability characterize SEAIR’s operations. For two consecutive years, the airline has been awarded “Best Airline of the Year” (2002 and 2003) by the Philippines’ largest Consumers Excellence Award.

Currently SEAIR serves a total of 18 sectors nationwide. It employs over 350 people ready to provide excellent service to passengers. SEAIR’s fleet is made up of 4 Dornier 328 and 7 LET 410 UVP-E aircraft for use in scheduled and chartered flights.

Recently SEAIR has signed a franchise agreement with Singapore’s Tiger Airways, introducing the SEAIR Tiger Hops. Domestic and regional services out of Clark using brand new Airbus A320 ‘s. This will enhance SEAIR’s fleet and allow the airline to expand its network.

Meeting More than Customer’s Expectations

SEAIR has made a name for itself at achieving excellence and surpassing customer expectations. The airline fosters an atmosphere of team building through training, commitment and dedication to achieve the highest sense of the company’s identity; thus becoming a benchmark model in the application of Quality Management System in the aviation industry.

SEAIR strives to provide safe, reliable and convenient air services at par with the highest airline service standards worldwide.

Through its experience in developing tourist destinations since 1995, the airline has modernized its fleet, presently counting with the youngest fleet in its segment of the industry. SEAIR can therefore pride itself for providing the fastest flights to certain destinations, including Caticlan (Boracay) in just 35 minutes from Manila.

Yet, SEAIR is more than just an airline. The company is an International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) authorized third-party repair station. Services include maintenance service for airframes, power plants, avionics and aircraft interiors, making SEAIR much more than just an innovative air carrier in the Philippines.

A Bit of History

In late 1995, Iren Dornier, Nikos Gitsis and Tomas Lopez founded South East Asian Airlines with two nine-seater DO-28 airplanes, which flew from Manila to Caticlan and Club Noah in Palawan. Headquarters were based in Clark.

Later the following year, SEAIR brought in a 19 seater LET 410 aircraft, which is ideal for short take-offs and landings, becoming ideal for destinations such as Palawan where larger commercial aircrafts cannot land.

Throughout the following years, with great success and through commitment, SEAIR gradually increased its fleet from one LET410 aircraft to nine LET410 planes. By 1999, SEAIR embarked on a nationwide expansion program. It opened regional hubs in Cebu and Zamboanga and it started offering interconnecting flights to Palawan including Manila-Busuanga-El Nido- Puerto Princesa and Cuyo.

It comes as no surprise that in 2002 and 2003 consecutively; SEAIR was awarded “Best Airline of the Year” by Philippine's largest Consumer’s Excellence Award. In 2003 as well, the airline became ISO 9001-2000 certified for quality management systems.

In 2004, SEAIR reached the 1 million-passenger mark. That same year the airline acquired its first Dornier 328 and launched the “Fastest flights to Boracay” campaign.

2006 was another milestone year for SEAIR. It acquired its fourth Dornier 328 and introduced online reservations and an e-ticketing system, being the first and only online system to offer e-tickets to Boracay and Busuanga. Other destinations are available for purchase online as well.

By September, SEAIR had signed a franchise agreement with Singapore’s only low fare airline, Tiger Airways to introduce the SEAIR Tiger Hops. These low cost, no-frill
service flights will include daily services out of Clark to regional and domestic trunk lines using brand new Airbus A320’s.

By the end of 2006 SEAIR’s online reservations system broke a record in Philippine e-commerce.

This year SEAIR turned 12 years old, becoming the longest running airline in the country next to Philippine Airlines. Currently the airline offers 29,000 seats per month through its network and flies a total of 19,000 passengers to Boracay per month.
