AirAsia Philippines, Asia’s leading low-cost airline, is boosting international tourism in the final three months of 2023, with increased forward bookings until December. As of October 2, 2023, Taipei, Incheon, Osaka, Narita, Hong Kong, and Bangkok are the top destinations for Filipinos.
“AirAsia Philippines continues to herald the return of international tourism through affordable and convenient flights. In fact, we see our performance on international flights increasing to half a million seats sold before the end of December 2023 which further underscores that more and more travelers are now making the choice of flying with the World’s Best Low-Cost Airline. We hope to flourish in the APAC next year as we open more destinations following the increase in aircraft fleet”, AirAsia Philippines Communications and Public Affairs Country Head First Officer Steve Dailisan shares.
AirAsia Philippines opened the month of October with its Manila to Bangkok, Hong Kong, Taipei, Seoul, Tokyo, and Macao flights commencing daily from the NAIA Terminal 3. Manila to Guangzhou and Shenzhen on the other hand continues to fly out of NAIA T3 4x weekly while flights to Kota Kinabalu, Kaohsiung, and Shanghai fly continue to depart and arrive 3x weekly.
Aside from increasing the frequency of flights from the NAIA Terminal 3, plans to open additional routes to Japan and China via the Clark International Airport, Mactan-Cebu International Airport, and Kalibo International Airport also excite AirAsia guests.
AirAsia Philippines is offering Winter Deals from October 2 to 8, aiming to attract more Filipinos to international travel. These deals offer a one-way base fare of PHP880 to PHP4,590 depending on the destination. The Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) has set a Level 6 fuel surcharge for October, resulting in additional fees for APAC destinations. AirAsia Philippines expects this to have less impact on airfare as ongoing promos like Winter Deals will cushion the surcharge effect. The company encourages guests to take advantage of these sales.
