AirAsia Philippines has expanded its international network with the addition of several flights to Macau, Kunming and Chengdu from Kalibo International Airport, the gateway to Boracay island in the Philippines.
“We are ringing in the new year with additional international flights to Boracay via Kalibo International Airport from three new destinations to once again boost tourism in our paradise island,” said AirAsia Philippines chief executive Dexter Comendador.
AirAsia’s Kalibo–Macau route will begin on March 2, 2019 with three flights weekly, while Kalibo–Chengdu will start on January 24 operating four times weekly. The Kalibo–Kunming route will begin on January 25 at three times weekly.
“China is an important market for leisure and tourism and we are excited to bring them back to Boracay. Direct flights will provide ease and comfort for Chinese tourists while giving local tourism industry a necessary boost after the rehabilitation works that closed the island to all tourists for six months last year,” Comendador said.
