AirAsia Philippines has firmly established itself as the leading airline for travelers heading to Boracay, with guest numbers continually rising since before the pandemic. Known for offering some of the most affordable flights to the popular destination, AirAsia Ph connects Boracay (Caticlan) to Manila, Clark, and Cebu. Among these, flights from Clark International Airport to Boracay stand out for their unbeatable price, starting at just PhP641.
The airline’s dominance in Boracay travel is reflected in its impressive passenger statistics. In 2019, over 450,000 guests chose AirAsia Ph to visit the island. Although this number dipped to 81,000 during the pandemic in 2020, it bounced back strongly in 2021, with 202,000 passengers. The upward trend continued into 2022, with more than 610,000 guests flying to Boracay. Last year, AirAsia PH saw a massive surge, flying over 1.3 million guests to Boracay. This figure accounted for 19.6% of the airline’s total 6.6 million passengers in 2023. The momentum has only grown stronger in 2024, with over 1.1 million guests already visiting Boracay from January to August 27.
Expanding Connectivity to the Island
AirAsia Ph has expanded its connectivity to Boracay, offering multiple daily flights from various key locations. As of August 2024, the airline operates eight daily flights from NAIA Terminal 2 to Boracay. For those interested in exploring other parts of the region before hitting the island, AirAsia also provides three daily flights to Kalibo. Additionally, travelers from Central Visayas can take advantage of the daily flights from Mactan Cebu International Airport, making it easier than ever to reach the island paradise.
“There is no season required for visiting Boracay,” says AirAsia Philippines Communications and Public Affairs Head, First Officer Steve Dailisan. He highlights that Boracay has become a year-round destination, not just for summer vacations but also for holidays like Christmas and New Year’s Eve. The island is increasingly popular for workations or as a work-from-home hub. “Whether it’s a vacation, staycation, or workation, AirAsia Philippines will continue to support our guests’ travel needs by providing the most competitive airfare to Boracay,” Dailisan adds.
Reminders for a Smooth Travel Experience
AirAsia Philippines remains committed to ensuring a smooth travel experience for all its passengers. The airline continues to enforce its cabin baggage policy strictly, which allows two hand-carry items—a small bag or laptop bag and luggage, with a combined weight of up to 7kg. Travelers are encouraged to plan ahead and include baggage allowance when booking their flights. AirAsia offers flexible baggage options, allowing passengers to carry up to 60kg of luggage, available through airasia.com and the AirAsia MOVE app.
As AirAsia Ph continues to cater to the growing demand for Boracay, it reaffirms its role as a key player in the travel industry, making it easier and more affordable for travelers to reach this iconic destination.
