Air Philippines has cheap 737-200's too, but for the past 10 years or so they still haven't made a cent. They have all the marketing, maintenance, and flight operations in place...with cheap ex-Delta planes (hush-kitted to boot!), with a website, established name-recall, LEGAL government certificates etc ..but still carries only Cebu Pacific's "tira-tira" pax. (Those left behind because CEB's planes are full). Even during summer peak season, I counted only 60pax max on their Dumaguete flights...while Ceb was 150pax both legs.They also have compatible airfares with Cebu Pacific. So how can a new Airline compete with CEB/PAL with only ONE airplane?
Subic or Kalibo-Incheon maybe..but Teepee is right...during winter the Headwinds reach 100knots at FL290 above. Hehehe, Koreans dont like to overnight in OKINAWA. Not to mention RVSM and CAT2 approvals
oh boy...someone didnt do his homework...
