ZestAir Plane overshoots a runway at Boracay Airport

A ZestAir MA60 plane overshoots a runway at the Caticlan airport in the morning of June 25. All the passengers and the crew of the plane were unhurt according to the local police. The incident was reported to Camp Krame at around 7:55am. The report says that ZestAir flight Z2-863 overshoot Runway 24 of the Caticlan airport. This airport is an access to the Philippines' most famous beach, the Boracay.

ZestAir is a new airline that was an offshoot of the old airline Asian Spirit. There were also many incidents involving the aircrafts of Asian Spirit. But ZestAir has been trying to repackage the airline to a cheap air transportation provider to compete with Cebu Pacific and PAL express. It was reported sometime ago that it has placed an order on A320 aircrafts during the recent air transportation show at France. I hope that ZestAir would also provide appropriate budget in maintenance of their current fleet of aircrafts in order to avoid these accidents.
