AirAsia raising flight frequencies next month

MANILA, Philippines — AirAsia Philippines is increasing its flight frequencies next month as the country fully reopens to all foreign tourists.

“The influx of foreign tourists into the country will definitely signify the strong recovery of the Philippine aviation industry,” AirAsia Philippines spokesperson Steve Dailisan said.

The budget carrier will be increasing its weekly flight frequencies to top tourist destinations including Caticlan (Boracay), Kalibo, Iloilo, Tacloban, Panglao, Puerto Princesa, Bacolod, Davao, and Cebu.

“Our guests’ eagerness to travel has already manifested with the increase in AirAsia’s forward booking from 30 to 60 days. As of March 18, we are seeing a 97 percent increase in seats sold for travels for the month of April alone with Boracay, Bohol, Cebu, Kalibo and Puerto Princesa on the top spots of the most booked destinations,” Dailisan said.

AirAsia Philippines said all its destinations are now accepting fully vaccinated foreign visitors with only their vaccination cards as entry requirements.

The airline explained this is expected to provide extra mobility to foreign travelers, especially those who might want to experience inter-island adventure.

AirAsia Philippines is also adding destinations to its domestic route network, such as flights to Dumaguete City starting April 8 and flights to Roxas beginning June 16.
