AirAsia Philippines is optimistic to double passenger volume to Japan this year with the launch by October of Nagoya as its third destination.
Last year, AirAsia flew 270,000 passengers to Japan. In the first half this year, the airline carried 210,000 passengers.
“Japan is one of the strongest regional markets for AirAsia Philippines. We are confident we will double the 270,000 guests flown in 2023 with our competitive airfares, more services, better flight timings and world leading service,” AirAsia Philippines chief executive officer Ricky Isla said in a statement.
AirAsia Philippines is preparing to fly to Nagoya starting on October 29, as its third destination in Japan. Nagoya is home to over two million residents, 57,000 of which are Filipinos.
To further boost traffic, the airline is offering a P888 one-way base fare to Nagoya for bookings made at the AirAsia MOVE app and airasia.com until August 11, 2024 for travel from its maiden flight on Oct. 29, 2024 to March 29, 2025.
