Listening to Engr. Cano making his point...

INAEC (Iloilo-Negros Air Express Company) was founded in 1932 by Don Eugenio Lopez, Sr. as the first airline to operate in the country. After World War II, INAEC was rebuilt as Far East Asia Transport, Inc. (FEATI) in 1947, and sold and later was merged with other companies to become Philippine Airlines (PAL). Then in 1993, INAEC was reborn as INAEC Aviation Corporation to cater to air transport requirements of the Lopez Group of Companies. In 2001, it began business as an air charter operator offering air services to third parties, both domestic and international.
