AirAsia Philippines has announced that all its domestic destinations no longer require COVID-19 tests for fully vaccinated passengers. The announcement came after Zamboanga City issued EO BC691-2021 dated 16 November 2021 allowing fully vaccinated guests with only vaccination cards and S-pass as entry requirements.
As of press time, Puerto Princesa, Caticlan (Boracay), Bohol, Kalibo, Tacloban, Bacolod, Iloilo, General Santos, Cagayan De Oro, Zamboanga and Davao have already eased travel requirements for fully vaccinated guests.
Starting last 16 November 2021, AirAsia guests are also no longer required to wear face shields at the airport, inside the aircraft, and all destinations under Alert levels 1, 2, and 3, pursuant to IATF Resolution 148-D, and as recommended by the Department of Transportation (DOTr).
AirAsia Philippines Spokesperson Steve Dailisan said, “AirAsia is very excited for all these exciting developments in the travel and tourism sector. Slowly but surely, we will achieve that sense of normalcy we all have been praying for. Likewise, there is no room for complacency. AirAsia will continue to strictly implement established health and safety protocols for the protection of all our guests and staff.”
With the expected pent-up demand for air travel, AirAsia will be ramping up its domestic frequency for the month of December. AirAsia will also resume its international routes beginning 04 December 2021 with its once-a-week flight to Singapore and twice-weekly flights to Hong Kong to service Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) and business travelers.
To celebrate the resumption of international travel, AirAsia guests flying to and coming from Singapore and Hongkong may avail of up to 30% discount — the lowest baggage fee for 40-kg baggage from only PHP1,690 and PHP2,180 respectively.
The airline now allows up to two (02) pieces of checked-in baggage across all baggage products (20/25/30/40 KG) for all domestic and international passengers.
