AirSWIFT (formerly Island Transvoyager) is a Filipino-owned regional boutique airline company with a permit to operate domestic scheduled and non-scheduled air transportation services. It also serves the aircraft transportation requirements of its affiliated company, El Nido Resorts.

History

Founded in 2002 as Island Transvoyager, the company had been operating three leased Dornier 228 aircraft. All of these were retired by early 2013 and replaced by all brand new ATR 42-600. They are the first airline operator in the Philippines to acquire and operate the ATR 600 series which is the most modern turboprop in the world. Ayala Capital Corporation acquired ownership of ITI in 2012. In October 2015, Island Transvoyager rebranded as AirSWIFT. Currently, AirSWIFT has daily flights from El Nido to Manila and Cebu.
