The story

Mosphil was founded in 2005 and the airline started operations in November 2006, backed by Russian interests. Mosphil Aero planned the start of a Zamboanga City-Sandakan-Kota Kinabalu route on 30 August 2006. Aircraft initially were operated by Russian crews while the Filipino pilots underwent training at the Antonov Training Center in Kyiv, Ukraine. Following a test flight in late August 2006, Mosphil Aero operated its first commercial flight from Zamboanga to Sandakan and back on 12 November 2006 using an Antonov An-24 aircraft with a Russian crew. Mosphil Aero's operation lasted slightly over two months.
