[edit] History
The airline was established in 1995 and started operations in August 1995. It received its first registration with the SEC on 25 March 1995 mainly to operate aircraft leasing, chartering and domestic scheduled flights. In May 1995 the airline was registered with the Clark Special Economic Zone to operate services in the Clark-Manila-Subic area and to tourist destinations throughout the Luzon and Visayas regions. It has had continual route expansion and opened a hub in Zamboanga City in 2002. Seair is owned by local investors 60%, Nikos Gitsis (10%) and Iren Dornier (30%) [1]. Iren Dornier is a German pilot and entrepreneur, the grandson of German flying pioneer Claudius Dornier.[citation needed]
On 29 September 2006, a deal was announced in which Singapore-based Tiger Airways will enter a commercial and operational tie-up with SEAIR from February 2007, involving the leasing of two planes in Tiger Airways colours to SEAIR and operated on the latter's routes from Pampanga to Singapore, Cebu, Davao, and Macau. Tiger Airways will give up one flight per day on the Pampanga-Singapore route and all flights between Macau and Pampanga to SEAIR. In return, all four flights operated using Tiger Airways' planes but with SEAIR's pilots and crew will be marketed via its website. The deal does not include shareholding transactions. [2]

[edit] Fleet
As of August 2006 the SEAIR fleet includes the following aircraft [3] :
Seair has sold two of its nine Let L-410 turboprops to Tri MG Intra Asia Airlines and is helping the Indonesian cargo carrier launch passenger services. It will probably sell two more next year and hold onto the five remaining. Seair is reducing its L-410 fleet because it is replacing the 19-seat aircraft with larger Dornier 328s, and in the next three months Seair will receive two more.[citation needed]
