Mga kababanwa ko lalu na sa mga byahero sa air transport, ang bago ng pangaran nin Asian Spirit ay ZEST AIRWAYS? Siguro maga-isip kamo tayon ta Zest and ipinangaran sa airline, ta pano dakuro ang utang na boot nila sa kompanya na sponsor sa snack niato na juice drink na Zesto? Joke only!!!!!! Pero husto yan na ang nakabakar sa Asian Spirit ay ang may sadili anakompanya nin Zesto drink. Kaya next time na masakay kita sa Zesto Airways, ayaw na pagpili nin water; coke; or coffee, tiyak zesto drink na ang ise-serve pati libre pa take-out, he he he.... Mei pa kong bagong kuha nin Zest Airways, hanto pa yo dating Asian Spirit, ang pagkakaiba man da sana sa disenyo nin body, instead na pakpak ay "STRAW" da ang nakakabit.....??? Aray ko pohhhhhhh...... Buko man daw to na chinese na par-mina na gustong supsupon the whole Catanduanes para makuha yan coal mine sa Panganiban sagkod amargaha sa Bagamanoc?

ZEST AIRWAYS

According to a relative that arrived on Monday's flight (27 July) the aircraft flew into Virac on only one engine.
The Chinese made Xian M60 has two Pratt & Whitney turbo prop engines. I am sure the aircraft is designed to fly quite happily on one engine. I don't know if the aircraft took off with one or two engines. I don't know if there was a fault during the flight or whether it was a fuel saving measure.
This year Zest Air have had two incidents involving this type of aircraft on January 11 and June 25 both in Caticlan, Malay Aklan. The Zest Air website claims that their fleet of MA60s are all 'brand new'.
