AirAsia Philippines on Tuesday rolled out a one-way base fare of P68 to P98 to all its domestic destinations to attract more passengers.
The budget carrier said the all-month-round discounted fare would be available until Feb. 12, 2024.
AirAsia Philippines flew 520,000 passengers in the first half of January 2024, and expects a strong demand to also support the Department of Tourism’s (DOT) target of increasing tourist arrivals in the country.
AirAsia Philippines flew 580,000 guests to top destinations such as Cebu, Bohol, and Kalibo in January 2023.
“AirAsia Philippines would like to open 2024 in a positive and festive mood. The Philippines, composed of 82 provinces, offers an array of festivals, which are worth exploring. At AirAsia we know that this is more than just the usual get-together — it’s a celebration of culture! During these important milestones, our guests can always rely on AirAsia’s affordable, reliable, and safe air travel,” AirAsia Philippines spokesperson and first officer Steve Dailisan said.
“We would like to be that airline that would make every Filipino festival happen,” he said.
AirAsia Philippines said it was looking to fly more foreign guests from other ASEAN countries, especially with the scheduled merger of AirAsia X and AirAsia Philippines (and other AirAsia areas of operation).
This move, seen to materialize in the months to come, is expected to consolidate all medium and long-haul flights which could create more opportunities for foreign travelers to explore the country as it will connect the Philippines with neighboring destinations.
AirAsia Philippines flies to 13 domestic destinations and 13 international destinations. With Joel Zurbano
