AirSWIFT (formerly Island Transvoyager) was a boutique airline in the Philippines with a permit to operate domestic scheduled and non-scheduled air transportation services. It also served the aircraft transportation requirements of its affiliated company, El Nido Resorts. In October 2024, Cebu Pacific acquired AirSWIFT at a cost of P1.75 billion from ALI Capital Corporation of Ayala Corporation.

History

AirSWIFT ATR 72-600

Founded in 2002 as Island Transvoyager, the company had three Dornier 228 aircraft. All of these were retired by early 2013 and replaced by ATR 42-600s. Ayala Capital Corporation acquired ownership of ITI in 2012. In October 2015, Island Transvoyager rebranded as AirSWIFT. On October 7, 2024, Cebu Pacific announced the acquisition of AirSWIFT from ALI Capital Corporation at a cost of P1.75 billion, while retaining flight schedule and services.

On June 15, 2026 Cebu Pacific announced regional subsidiary Cebgo will assume operation of all AirSWIFT flights from July 1, effectively retiring the AirSwift brand.
