Budget carrier AirAsia Philippines will resume its domestic operations at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (Naia) Terminal 4, as it expects an “influx of guests flying for summer and the Holy Week.”
Steve Dailisan, the airline’s spokesperson, said the group expects to see passenger volumes to “double” during the summer months and Holy Week.
“Travel is set to rebound as seen with the increase of passengers traveling via air transport and the relaxation of travel protocols. As we expect this number to double in time for summer and Holy Week, we at AirAsia are keen on keeping our brand of high-quality guest service at an optimum,” he said.
AirAsia Philippines will resume its domestic operations at Terminal 4 starting March 28, two years after the terminal was closed due to the pandemic. AirAsia Philippines will continue to operate its international flights out of Naia Terminal 3.
“We are upgrading our check-in counters at T4 to provide our guests with a seamless travel experience. We also encourage our guests to familiarize themselves with the online check-in option via Super App to facilitate easy and fast check-in procedures,” Dailisan said.
The volume of passengers traveling via air is projected to rise, as the Philippines tones down travel restrictions with the lowering of the Covid-19 alert levels.
AirAsia Philippines recently doubled its flight frequency to popular summer destinations such as Caticlan (Boracay), Kalibo, Cebu, Tagbilaran (Panglao), and Puerto Princesa. Flights to other destinations like Bacolod, Iloilo, Tacloban and Cagayan De Oro were also increased.
