AirAsia Philippines on Wednesday officially opened its new headquarters in Pasay as part of its commitment to delivering World’s Best Service and reflects its ongoing growth and optimistic outlook.
Dubbed “The Red Horizon,” this new office will be home to over 1,500 Filipino “Allstars,” solidifying the airline’s long-term commitment to making air travel accessible and affordable in the Philippine market.
The unveiling ceremony was attended by prominent figures, including Senator Erwin Tulfo, a top-performing official in the recent 2025 midterm elections, alongside key airport and aviation officials. Among them were Office for Transportation Security Undersecretary Arthur Bisnar, Manila International Airport Authority General Manager Eric Ines, and Civil Aeronautics Board Executive Director Carmelo Arcilla.
“I think the resilience of Philippine AirAsia is something to marvel at. I’m someone who never gives up. I will fight to the end. But it’s tough fighting alone. And so it was amazing to see the energy. I will still remember coming to the old office and the greeting I got. The energy of this company is unbelievable. It is true, there is no AirAsia company like this,” Fernandes sad.
“The great thing about this airline, we’ve gone from two planes to 255. We’ve been through COVID. We started with 200,000 passengers, and this year we’re carrying 90 million. We’re just short of carrying 1 billion people since we started this airline 23 years ago. But we’re all the same. We’re exactly the same. Everyone has maintained their humility, maintained their hard work, and most important about AirAsia is our passion to be the best,” he added.
In his message, Senator Tulfo lauded AirAsia’s efforts in ensuring safe journeys among the Filipino people, “From its humble beginnings, AirAsia has become a pioneer in budget air travel—not just connecting destinations, but connecting dreams, families, businesses, and cultures. It brought the skies closer to millions of Filipinos and travelers around Asia by making flying affordable, accessible, and enjoyable.
As a public servant, I deeply value how AirAsia plays a role in economic development, tourism, job creation, and nation-building. Your growth is the country’s gain. And rest assured, we will continue to support an environment where enterprises like AirAsia can soar even higher. “
The new facility is a Filipino-inspired space that reflects modern values of inclusivity, collaboration, and national pride. Its key function rooms are named The Philippines, Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao which symbolize unity and regional representation.
The headquarters also features dedicated prayer rooms to support spiritual inclusivity, a fully equipped gym to encourage health and wellness as well as People First Stop, a dedicated space that reflects our commitment to putting people first. It serves as a hub for support, connection, and care including a safe venue for mental health pep talks for those who need a moment to pause.
