AirAsia Philippines said Monday it resumed domestic operations at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 4 in anticipation of the influx of passengers flying for summer travel and the Holy Week.
The transfer to NAIA Terminal 4 is also in conjunction with the announcement by Department of Transportation reactivating the terminal’s operations after being closed for more than two years because of the pandemic, it said.
“Travel is set to rebound as seen with the increase of passengers traveling via air transport and the relaxation of travel protocols. As we expect this number to double in time for summer and Holy Week, we at AirAsia are keen on keeping our brand of high-quality guest service at an optimum,” said AirAsia Philippines spokesperson Steve Dailisan.
“We are upgrading our check-in counters at T4 to provide our guests with a seamless travel experience. We also encourage our guests to familiarize themselves with the online check-in option via Super App to facilitate easy and fast check-in procedures,” he said.
AirAsia Philippines recently doubled flight frequency to popular summer destinations such as Caticlan (Boracay), Kalibo, Cebu, Tagbilaran (Panglao) and Puerto Princesa. Flights to other destinations like Bacolod, Iloilo, Tacloban and Cagayan De Oro were also increased.
“We are confident that summer 2022 is really the onset of recovery not only for AirAsia Philippines, but also to all other airlines in the country. We expect travel to flourish especially with different festive seasons we have from April to May,” Dailisan said.
“We are also expecting a sustained demand until May due to voters coming home to the provinces in preparation for the May 2022 election,” he said.
The international flight operations of AirAsia Philippine will remain at NAIA Terminal 3 where they are housed.
