Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

I’ve been receiving buzz from various businessmen around Mindanao and in Manila that Davao City is supposedly set to have its “own airline” very soon. By own airline, I reckon they mean an entire fleet with “Davao” in its name somewhere and that it will serve as Davao City’s very own answer to Cebu Pacific Air and Philippine Airlines. I asked a few well-placed personalities in Davao if they’ve heard of this and most of them did confirm that there are “movements” on this plan.

If ever this will push through, this will definitely give Mindanao travel and tourism a big boost. I wonder, though, if the planes of this alleged fleet are as small as those of Mindanao Express’ (Beechcraft 1900C)? Or if the planes are basically those of Mindanao Express’ and then they’d just change the name? Is that possible? It would be great, though, if the so-called “Davao airline” airplanes would at least be as large as those owned by PAL or Air Philippines or Cebu Pacific.

Also, I wonder what the name of the fleet would be? Davao Air? Davao Spirit? Spirit of Davao?

Ikaw, what do you think will be a great name for this alleged Davao airplane fleet?

Here’s my suggestions:
1. Apo Air (just like EVA Air)
2. Davaoeño Airlines (just like Hawaiian Airlines)
3. DAVAO EAGLE AIR
