AirAsia Philippines has increased its flight frequency by 30 percent to accommodate the influx of travelers this month.
AirAsia said it is all set to accommodate the surge in travelers that are estimated at over 131,000 to fly in and out of Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 4 for the Holy Week and the rest of the month in April.
AirAsia has increased its weekly flight frequencies this April by 30 percent month-on-month in top destinations such as Caticlan, Boracay, Iloilo, Tacloban, Tagbilaran, Bacolod, Puerto Princesa, Davao, Cagayan, Kalibo and Cebu.
The destinations with the highest number of travelers are Caticlan with 37,881, Tacloban with 13,737, Panglao with 13,303, Cebu with 12,778 and Kalibo with 11,754 guests already booked to fly over the upcoming peak travel period.
“We will open our newest destinations — Dumaguete this week and our Roxas flights by June. 2022 indeed is the year of recovery not only for the aviation industry but also for all industries related to it,” said Steve Dailisan, AirAsia Philippines head of communication and public affairs.
Having transferred recently to NAIA Terminal 4 for its domestic operations, AirAsia Philippines has dedicated 12 check-in counters and four self check-in kiosks located at the entrance of the terminal.
The airline said these will ease the potential long queues of guests flying to 13 different AirAsia Philippines destinations.
It added returning to its original home at the NAIA Terminal 4 — a single-level terminal — gives AirAsia Philippines’ guests greater convenience for traveling as the move eases the fast-growing foot traffic at NAIA Terminal 3. – Myla Iglesias
