AirAsia Philippines said Wednesday it recorded a surge in summer bookings for domestic and international destinations on strong rebound in travel demand, achieving 75 percent of its pre-pandemic levels.

“The surge in bookings this summer reflects a strong rebound in travel demand. We are thrilled to witness such enthusiasm from travelers, with reservations reaching unprecedented levels,” said AirAsia Philippines communications and public affairs country head Steve Dailisan.

“We attribute this overwhelming development to the continuous opening of international destinations, added flight frequencies, and the Filipino’s strong appetite for travel. AirAsia Philippines is committed to providing exceptional service and ensuring a safe and enjoyable journey for all our guests,” he said.

The budget airline said the top five most booked destinations for Filipinos this summer include Cebu, Boracay, Tacloban, Iloilo and Bohol. Taipei, Incheon, Bangkok, Narita, and Osaka meanwhile were the top-booked summer destinations for international travel.

AirAsia also noticed that group bookings also started to pick up after recording a more than 140-percent increase in bookings in the months of March to May.

“This only manifests that aside from solo travels, Filipino travelers are now keen on revisiting their sidelined travel buckets and excited to experience each destination’s cuisine, culture, and traditions along with their family, friends and colleagues,” Dailisan said.

The budget airline is bringing the second leg of the AirAsia Fly Fest to the Queen City of the South on May 27 to 28.

AirAsia Philippines is capitalizing on Cebu as one of the alternatives to the Manila International Airport, especially with the mounting of more international flights to Narita, Osaka, Narita, Seoul, Kaohsiung, Kuala Lumpur and Shenzhen. 

“We would like our guests, solo and group travelers alike, especially those coming from Central Visayas to familiarize themselves with our flights from Mactan-Cebu International Airport as this will not only save more travel time but will also foster inclusive growth within the region,” Dailisan said.
