AirAsia Philippines to Increase number of Flights, both Domestic and International

AirAsia Philippines aims to enter the new year with more flights to serve the growing domestic demand. The company has announced that it will increase flight frequency and reopen key hubs for guests flying back home after the holiday season. With the additional flights, AirAsia Philippines has said that they are projected to hit almost 41% of its pre-pandemic levels.

“A lot of our guests are still taking last-minute travel opportunities after being sidelined by the recent typhoon. We expect an uptake in flights as people return to their homes following their holiday trips,” AirAsia Philippines spokesperson Steve Dailisan said.

“For this reason, we are adding flights to some key destinations to address increasing demand,” he said.

The airline aims to add flights to Caticlan, Kalibo, Iloilo, Tacloban, Tagbilaran, Puerto Princesa, Bacolod, and Davao starting Jan 1 2022. Furthermore, the carrier will also reopen its hub in Clark International Airport, with flights to Caticlan available thrice a week.

For smoother check-in procedures, AirAsia encourages guests to arrive at the airport 3-4 hours before departure with their travel requirements at the ready.

“We also request our guests to strictly wear their face masks and follow our ground and flight crew instructions if they wish to be reminded of our safety protocols. We are doing this to ensure that our guests continue to experience the highest standards of hygiene and safety on all of our flights,” Dailisan said.

The airline will also offer more international flights to and from Singapore, Hong Kong, and Kuala Lumpur. These flights will be operated by AirAsia Malaysia.
