AirAsia Philippines aims to reach 70 percent of its pre-COVID capacity for international routes by the fourth quarter of this year. Supporting this vision is the airline’s growing frequency to various ASEAN countries which AirAsia Philippines recently restarted, such as Hong Kong, Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia, and Seoul, South Korea.
Manila-Singapore will join AirAsia Philippines’ roster of operating international routes starting July 1. The world’s best low-cost airline is set to fly to the Lion City four times weekly, every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday. Based on forwarding bookings made as of June 27, the airline is expecting to fly almost 10,000 guests to Singapore in Q3 of this year.
AirAsia Philippines Spokesperson and Head of Communications and Public Affairs Steve Dailisan shares, “Our aggressiveness in expanding our domestic route network also manifests in our resumption strategy for international routes.” This is in service of Filipino globetrotters and overseas Filipino workers who wish to explore the tourism and economic opportunities present abroad. “
AirAsia Philippines’ international guest count continues to rise gradually month after month, increasing the total number of guests flown abroad in June 2022 by 354 percent compared to May 2022. AirAsia further supports the growth of its international customers by offering a 10% discount on Manila-Singapore flights from July 1, 2022, to March 25, 2023. Interested guests may avail of the discount from June 27 to July 3.
AirAsia believes that the demand for travel will remain undampened in spite of the rise in fuel surcharge costs amid volatile fuel pricing globally. “We at AirAsia Philippines work with the Civil Aeronautics Board in the strategic application of fuel surcharge costs. We assure our guests that despite the surcharge, our base fares will remain the most competitive in the market, complemented by additional discount promos monthly, “Dailisan adds.” AirAsia also encourages guests to book one month or more in advance to avail of friendlier rates and ongoing discounts.
