AirAsia Philippines on Tuesday rolled out one-way flights with base fare ranging from P68 to P98 in all its domestic destinations to encourage more Filipinos to travel.
The budget carrier said the discounted fare will be available until 12 February this year.
In just two weeks in January, AirAsia Philippines already flew half a million passengers and projects demand to remain strong in keeping with the Department of Tourism’s (DOT) target of increasing tourist arrivals in the country.
Thus far this month, AirAsia Philippines flew a total 580,000 guests to top destinations as Cebu, Bohol, and Kalibo.
“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 this is more than just the usual get-together — it’s a celebration of culture! During these important milestones, our guests can rely on AirAsia’s affordable, reliable, and safe air travel always,” Steve Dailisan, AirAsia Philippines spokesperson and first officer, said.
“We would like to be that airline that would make every Filipino festival happen,” he added.
AirAsia Philippines said it looks 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).
Seen to materialize in the months ahead, the merger is expected to consolidate all medium and long-haul flights that create more opportunities for foreign travelers to explore the country even as it connects the Philippines to nearby destinations.
AirAsia Philippines flies to a total of 13 domestic destinations and 13 international destinations as of July 2023.
