AirAsia Philippines has increased flight frequencies on its major domestic routes this October to prepare for the All Saints’ Day long weekend.
From Manila, flights to Caticlan increased from 46 to 54 times weekly; Cebu, from 47 to 56 times weekly; Iloilo, from 28 to 32 times weekly; Tacloban, from 24 to 26 times weekly; Tagbilaran, from 21 to 24; Puerto Princesa, from 20 to 21; Kalibo, from 17 to 19 times weekly; and Cagayan de Oro, from 14 to 16 times weekly.
“As one of the country’s busiest travel periods approaches, AirAsia is fully prepared to serve our kababayans who will be paying respect to their departed loved ones or spending quality time with family during the long weekend,” said Capt. Suresh Bangah, AirAsia Philippines president and chief executive.
“These frequency upgrades are designed to offer more seats and flight options for our guests, ensuring a smooth and convenient travel experience,” he added.
Last year, AirAsia Philippines recorded an impressive 83% load factor during the Undas season, and the airline expects a higher demand this year.
AirAsia is a leading low-cost carrier with licenses to operate in five Asean countries — Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines and Cambodia.

Today, as one of the largest airlines in the region, AirAsia is expanding to become the world’s first global low-cost network carrier. It operates more than 200 aircraft and holds a significant order book for the next decade. AirAsia leads in sustainable aviation with green initiatives and a net-zero target by 2050.
