Davao Orient Air was a low-cost carrier established in 1978 and is considered as the ''de facto'' flag carrier of the Republic of the Philippines, as no other airline had based itself from the Philippines.

== History ==
Lacking with a carrier based in the Philippines, Davao Orient Air CEO envisioned to connect the Philippines' 7107 islands through air transportation. In fulfillment of this long-time plan, Davao Orient Air was christened with its first Boeing 727-200, flying from Manila to Cebu, Davao and Taiwan
Taoyuan. That time, DOA is still considered as a full-service carrier since it still offered First Class and Business Class seats. The demand for affordable air travel prompted DOA to offer an all-economy class seating plan for all of its aircraft, now considers itself as a low-cost carrier.

On the first years of the airline's operation, it suffered huge amounts of debts amounting to a maximum of $50,000,000, but the airline aggressively expanded to other cities such as Hong Kong, Guangzhou, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore and Ho Chi Mihn. As the debt was already paid and the airline have profits, DOA began introducing flights to Seoul (Incheon), Tokyo (Narita), Bangkok, Jakarta, Beijing, Shenzhen, Macau and Guam.

Sometime in 1977, DOA entered the long-haul flight market with flights to Delhi, San Francisco and Sydney. Two years after, flights to Dubai and Vancouver. As of today, the number of long-haul routes were increasing in numbers.

== Company affairs ==

In its early beginnings, Davao Orient Air has been invited to be a member of W Connect alliance, which the airline gladly accepted. Due to the rapid expansion of DOA and its inclusion in an alliance, a plan to build a terminal was raised.

In 1975, Davao Orient Air opened its 5-gate terminal-hub at Ninoy Aquino International (MNL/RPLL) due to the restrictions on gate leases. The opening of this terminal-hub signaled the increase of the number of daily flights from its Manila hub alone to its present 101 and freeing gates in MNL for foreign carriers.

In 1977, it opened its second terminal-hub at Diosdado Macapagal International Airport (CRK/RPLC) to serve its local and regional routes. A year after, another terminal-hub was opened in Mactan-Cebu International Aiport (CEB/RPMC) and Francisco Bangoy International Airport (DVO/RPMD) to cater direct flights to regional destinations.
