Asian Air Safari on ANC

MANILA, Philippines - Discover and experience Africa from the unique perspective of a real-life pilot in the newest and seventh season of flying adventure and travel show, Asian Air Safari beginning tomorrow, July 22 at 8:30 p.m. on ANC.

Host and producer Capt. Joy Roa will take viewers past popular tourist spots by immersing in the wild, culture, people, sights and cuisine of the most exotic locations in the continent and showing spectacular vistas that can only be seen from the skies.

Asian Air Safari, the only aviation and travel-adventure show in Asia, has transported viewers to the most popular and unusual locales in 150 cities in 38 countries across all continents, except Antarctica for a total of 86 episodes, including the new eight episodes of seventh season.

When asked to name three unpopular destinations overlooked by travelers, Roa said it would be the Pacific side of northern Luzon for its nice beaches and coastline, the atoll islands between Zamboanga and Jolo that are better than Maldives and Bugsuk Island. 

Roa, a well-loved and influential figure in the aviation industry with 34 years of experience, also revealed that aside from Africa, the new season will present features of his multi-continental adventures, including cross country flights, a stopover in New Delhi, a helicopter race against motorcycle riders from Manila to Laoag and a tour on Oshima Island, Japan. He also flew a brand-new Phenom 300 jet with stops in Kuala Lumpur and Bali, before landing in Perth, Australia.

“Traveling enables me to deepen my understanding of the world through seeing the great structures and monuments made throughout the history of different cultures,” said Capt. Joy.
