AirAsia Philippines has sustained its passenger growth to the island of Boracay, Caticlan, since the pre-pandemic period.
From January to August this year, the airline flew over 1.1 million passengers, while last year, it flew more than 1.3 million passengers with the opening of AirAsia’s flights from Clark to Cebu.
The passenger traffic showed significant growth over the last four years, with more than 450,000 passengers in 2019, then it went down to 81,000 in 2020 during pandemic but recovered in 2021 with 202,000, and more than 610,000 in 2022, the airline said.
“There is no season required for visiting Boracay. We have seen families and groups of friends visit the island even during Christmas and New Year’s Eve. To say that Boracay is just a summer destination is already passé. Even now Boracay has also become a favorite destination for workation or work from home-hub. Vacation, staycation, or workation, AirAsia Philippines will continue to support our guests’ travel needs by providing the most competitive airfare to Boracay,” said Steve Dailisan, AirAsia Philippines communications and public affairs head.
AirAsia Philippines flies to Boracay (Caticlan) via Manila, Clark and Cebu. Daily flights originating from Clark International Airport to Boracay are the most affordable at P641, the airline said.
As of August 2024, AirAsia flies eight times daily from Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 2 to Boracay. It also offers three times daily flights to Kalibo.
