LOW-COST carrier AirAsia Philippines is expecting to close the first quarter of 2023 with most of its international destinations reinstated with the reopening of flights to Macau, Shenzhen and Guangzhou, on top of the now active Hong Kong, Osaka, Tokyo, Taipei, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur and Seoul routes.
“Our international recovery is almost complete with the relaunching of the remaining China routes next month. It is also the perfect time to welcome spring in the most preferred tourist destinations among Filipinos such as Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. We can’t wait to safely fly our guests from all over East Asia, and couple their trips with best-value deals,” Steve Dailisan, AirAsia Philippines head of Communications and Public Affairs, in a statement.
AirAsia Philippines is also piggybacking on the high inbound and outbound traffic at the Mactan-Cebu International Airport (MCIA) which registered more than 500,000 international passenger traffic in 2022.
Now servicing flights to Seoul, leisure travelers can also fly four times weekly from MCIA to the city of Taipei, Taiwan beginning March 2, 2023.
