Philippines AirAsia began as Asian Spirit in 1995 by three friends, the first airline cooperative in the Philippines. With two second-hand Dash 7 aircraft Asian Spirit began flights from Manila to Malay. Later new routes to San Jose, Virac, Alcantara and Daet were started as well. The cooperative didn't last long though and in 1997 the airline changed to a corporate structure. A turbulent period started in 2008 when Asian Spirit was bought by AMY Holdings. First a merger with SEAir was initiated but after several rounds of talks the deal fell through. Shorty after the airline announced it would be re-branded from Asian Spirit to Zest Airways. The international expansion Zest Airways started with flights to Sandakan, Seoul and Macau failed and had to be abandoned. In March 2013 it was announced that Zest Airways and AirAsia Philippines would form a strategic alliance and conduct a share swap, exchanging shares between all the owners of these airlines. Just a year later the airline was re-branded again to AirAsia Zest, taking over the few flights of AirAsia Philippines which ceased to exist.
