Air Ads Inc. was established in 1982 by aviator Capt. Joy Roa. As the company’s major stakeholder, he now runs one of the most trusted aircraft management and FBO in the country. The venture began as a small banner towing company, then progressed on to trade, restoration, parts supply, aircraft management, ground handling, charter and a small commuter service in the 90’s called “Island Hopper”.
In 2005, Capt. Joy began filming a television program called Asian Air Safari, a travel and adventure show that has a dedicated aviation feature. The show’s advocacy is to promote aviation around the world. It is currently aired on Philippine cable and simulcast in Asia, Middle East, North America, Europe and territories where TFC (The Filipino Channel) is available.
Air Ads Inc. was then renamed to Asian Air Safari in 2014. The FBO still maintains a CAAP Approved AMO, but no longer holds a current AOC.
