This time, the team had a new ownership in <a href="/wiki/Asia_Brewery" title="Asia Brewery">Asia Brewery</a> of <a href="/wiki/Lucio_Tan" title="Lucio Tan">Lucio Tan's</a> son, <a href="/wiki/Bong_Tan_(executive)" title="Bong Tan (executive)">Bong</a> (The Tanduay team in the 1970s and 80s was owned by the Elizalde family). After a runner-up finish in the 1999 All-Filipino Conference, the Rhum Masters failed to advanced in the finals since. To add insult, the deportation of alleged <i>fil-sham</i> Sonny Alvarado and the indefinite suspensions of Eric Menk and Rudy Hatfield (due to lack of documents to prove themselves as a legitimate Fil-American), the management became frustrated. </p><p>After the 2001 season, the firesale began as Tanduay traded Dondon Hontiveros to <a href="/wiki/San_Miguel_Beermen" title="San Miguel Beermen">San Miguel</a>, Jeffrey Cariaso to the new <a href="/wiki/Coca_Cola_Tigers" class="mw-redirect" title="Coca Cola Tigers">Coca Cola</a> franchise and Menk to <a href="/wiki/Barangay_Ginebra_Kings" class="mw-redirect" title="Barangay Ginebra Kings">Barangay Ginebra</a>.

The Express moniker was used as a reference to their company's role in fast-paced delivery. </p><p>In the 2001 PBA Draft, the Express held the first overall pick in the draft. Initially, the FedEx expressed its desire to draft <a href="/wiki/Metropolitan_Basketball_Association" title="Metropolitan Basketball Association">MBA</a> star <a href="/wiki/Rommel_Adducul" title="Rommel Adducul">Rommel Adducul</a>, but his MBA team the <a href="/wiki/Batangas_Blades" title="Batangas Blades">Batangas Blades</a> denied Adducul's request for a release.

He was the last coach of the Tanduay franchise in the PBA before it was absorbed by FedEx. </p><p>Former Tanduay forward <a href="/wiki/Bong_Hawkins" title="Bong Hawkins">Bong Hawkins</a> was among those absorbed by the FedEx franchise in 2002. However, a controversy sparked between Hawkins and the FedEx management. The former <a href="/wiki/University_of_Perpetual_Help_System_Dalta" class="mw-redirect" title="University of Perpetual Help System Dalta">Perpetual Help</a> standout wanted to have the same terms of the salary he held with Tanduay while the FedEx management was basing the contract on a written one. In the end, Hawkins was released and eventually joined <a href="/wiki/Coca-Cola_Tigers" class="mw-redirect" title="Coca-Cola Tigers">Coca-Cola</a> in 2003. </p><p>FedEx's first-ever match was an opening game against the <a href="/wiki/Coca-Cola_Tigers" class="mw-redirect" title="Coca-Cola Tigers">Coca-Cola Tigers</a> which they lost. At that time, Ritualo was loaned the <a href="/wiki/Philippine_national_basketball_team" class="mw-redirect" title="Philippine national basketball team">RP National pool</a>. The Express also added <a href="/wiki/Bong_Alvarez" class="mw-redirect" title="Bong Alvarez">Bong Alvarez</a> in the lineup along with Jermaine Walker as one of their imports. The Express made it to the quarterfinals of the Governor's Cup but was quickly eliminated. In the Commissioner's Cup, Ritualo made his much-awaited debut with FedEx but the Express once again failed to enter past the semis. Alvarez left the team for the <a href="/wiki/Talk_%27N_Text_Tropang_Texters" class="mw-redirect" title="Talk 'N Text Tropang Texters">Talk 'N Text Phone Pals</a>, but acquired the services of <a href="/wiki/Vergel_Meneses" title="Vergel Meneses">Vergel Meneses</a> from <a href="/wiki/Barangay_Ginebra_Kings" class="mw-redirect" title="Barangay Ginebra Kings">Ginebra</a>. In the All-Filipino, FedEx again failed to enter the quarterfinals of the tournament. </p><p>Ritualo was named as the Rookie of the Year after the season, to spark a promising future for the team. </p><p>In 2003, the Express nabbed former MBA <a href="/wiki/Metropolitan_Basketball_Association#MBA_Most_Valuable_Players" title="Metropolitan Basketball Association">MVP</a> <a href="/wiki/John_Ferriols" title="John Ferriols">John Ferriols</a> in the draft. The Express finished with an impressive second place in the elimination round of the All-Filipino Cup. In the quarterfinals, the Express failed to enter the semis after finishing last place of the single-round robin quarterfinals phase. </p><p>Their performance in the All-Filipino earned the team an early entry to the PBA Invitational tournament. The Express placed third in the special tournament, earning the team its first trophy in the league. </p><p>In the Reinforced Conference, the Express bannered Terrence Shannon as import. However, in the opening round, they were eliminated by <a href="/wiki/San_Miguel_Beermen" title="San Miguel Beermen">San Miguel</a>. During the said tournament, Pumaren was fired and was replaced by former <a href="/wiki/Laguna_Lakers" title="Laguna Lakers">Lakers</a> coach Bonifacio "Bonnie" Garcia. </p><p>During the <a href="/wiki/2004_PBA_Draft" class="mw-redirect" title="2004 PBA Draft">2004 Draft</a>, FedEx nabbed three picks in the first round with <a href="/wiki/Marc_Pingris" title="Marc Pingris">Marc Pingris</a>, <a href="/wiki/Ranidel_de_Ocampo" title="Ranidel de Ocampo">Ranidel de Ocampo</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Wesley_Gonzales" title="Wesley Gonzales">Wesley Gonzales</a>. In the Fiesta Conference, the Express ended up in ninth place and was eliminated by the <a href="/wiki/Talk_%27N_Text_Tropang_Texters" class="mw-redirect" title="Talk 'N Text Tropang Texters">Talk 'N Text Phone Pals</a> in the Wild-Card phase. A coaching change also happened when Garcia was replaced by legendary coach <a href="/wiki/Joe_Lipa" title="Joe Lipa">Joe Lipa</a>. </p><p>Meneses was then shipped to the <a href="/wiki/Barako_Bull_Energy_Boosters" title="Barako Bull Energy Boosters">Red Bull Barako</a> during the off season for <a href="/wiki/Homer_Se" title="Homer Se">Homer Se</a> and a draft pick. </p><p>In the 2004–2005 Philippine Cup, the Express once again finished fourth in the classification phase and was eliminated early by the <a href="/wiki/Alaska_Aces_(PBA)" title="Alaska Aces (PBA)">Alaska Aces</a>. </p><p>Lipa resigned after the tournament and was replaced by former Filipino mentor of the Indonesian national team <a href="/wiki/Bong_Ramos" title="Bong Ramos">Bong Ramos</a>.

In the <a href="/wiki/2005_PBA_Draft" class="mw-redirect" title="2005 PBA Draft">2005 PBA Draft</a>, Air21 had three picks in the first round.

Air21 eliminated San Miguel in the wildcard phase and upset the Phone Pals in a five-game quarterfinals affair. However, in six games they were eliminated by Purefoods in the semi-finals. At the end of the conference, Air21 defeated the <a href="/wiki/Barangay_Ginebra_Kings" class="mw-redirect" title="Barangay Ginebra Kings">Barangay Ginebra Kings</a> to capture third place in the tournament. </p><p>In the Philippine Cup, the Express acquired <a href="/wiki/Mark_Telan" title="Mark Telan">Mark Telan</a> from the <a href="/wiki/Talk_%27N_Text_Tropang_Texters" class="mw-redirect" title="Talk 'N Text Tropang Texters">Talk 'N Text Phone Pals</a> for <a href="/wiki/John_Ferriols" title="John Ferriols">John Ferriols</a>.

Many basketball fans saw this trade as another rebuilding mode for the team while others speculate about a potential cost-cutting of the Express for its impending disbandment, although there were no accuracy of the possibility. </p><p>However, since the Ritualo trade, the Express went 3–1 the rest of the classification phase to finish with a 7–9 record. The surge saw the improvement of Air21 rookie Canaleta, who had multiple 30-point games during the streak. However, the Express failed to beat the <a href="/wiki/Coca-Cola_Tigers" class="mw-redirect" title="Coca-Cola Tigers">Coca-Cola Tigers</a> in a one-game playoff for the third outright quarterfinals berth.

And in Game 7, with all the cards in place, the two teams fought gallantly to the finish, but the more experienced Ginebra showed resiliency and defeated the Express, denying them the title.
