AirAsia Philippines is kicking off October with over 2,000 seats sold at the recent Philippine Travel Mart event over the weekend.
The World’s Best Low-Cost Airline ended September with an average passenger load of 85% for both domestic and international travel, and increased prospective bookings for the “Ber” months, known as the Philippines’ longest holiday celebration.
AirAsia anticipates a steady increase in flight bookings, particularly as more international borders open with fewer restrictions and greater convenience in travel requirements.
The top domestic destinations booked by Filipino travelers in Q4 2022 are Caticlan (60%), Tagbilaran (55%), Tacloban (55%), Puerto Princesa (50%), and Cebu (40%).
Seoul, Osaka, Bangkok, Taipei, and Kuala Lumpur are the most popular international destinations.
AirAsia Philippines Spokesperson and Head of Communications and Public Affairs Steve Dailisan said, “The increased bookings for travel this Q4 2022 to Q2 2023 is a strong indication that the demand for travel has returned. And AirAsia is more than ready to sustain the appetite of Filipino travelers by increasing its flight frequency and opening more international destinations. The relaxed travel protocols in various countries have also contributed to more overseas workers taking the opportunity to fly home to the Philippines to spend the holidays with their loved ones in the provinces.”
AirAsia is increasing its weekly flight frequency to Caticlan (35 times), Tagbilaran (21 times), Puerto Princesa (28 times), Cebu (42 times), Bacolod (21 times), Cagayan (22 times), Davao (24 times), Iloilo (28 times), Kalibo (21 times), Tacloban (35 times), Zamboanga (7 times), and Roxas (3x).
Meanwhile, weekly flights from Cebu to Cagayan (4x), Davao (4x), and Caticlan will be increased (7x). Flights from Clark to Caticlan will continue to operate four times per week.
Furthermore, Filipinos can continue to visit international destinations such as Seoul (7 times weekly from Manila and 3 times from Cebu); Kota Kinabalu (7 times weekly); Bangkok – via Don Mueang International Airport (7 times weekly); Denpasar (7 times weekly); Kuala Lumpur (7 times weekly); Singapore (4 times weekly); and Hong Kong (1 time weekly) via NAIA Terminal 3. AirAsia Philippines will also resume service between Taipei, Taiwan, and Osaka, Japan, beginning next month.
AirAsia, which has been named the World’s Best Low-Cost Airline by Skytrax for 13 years in a row and has a perfect 7/7 safety compliance rating by airlineratings.com, reminds the public of the IATF’s minimum safety protocols.
The airline also invites guests to download the airasia Super App for more exciting deals and promotions throughout the Ber months, as well as to visit airasia’s travel safe page for up-to-date travel requirements for all destinations.
