FOA—also known as "Fairways"—started their domestic flight operations in the Philippines on January 5, 1965, using DC-3 aircraft [1]. Their early days appear to have been crash-ridden with the loss of four DC-3 and one DC-6 within the first 4 years of operation. They went on to operate Sud Aviation Caravelles [2] and Nord 262, later to be replaced by NAMC YS-11. Their flight operations were ended after the declaration of Martial Law by then Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos on September 21, 1972.[3] Philippine Airlines eventually took over the planes and routes of FOA.
