AirAsia Philippines is strengthening its commitment to inclusivity and travel convenience for Muslim passengers during the holy month of Ramadan. With approximately 15 million Muslims residing in the Philippines, the airline aims to provide a seamless and accessible travel experience, particularly for those embarking on religious pilgrimages such as Hajj and Umrah.
Passengers can take advantage of AirAsia’s extensive network of 136 routes, including convenient connections from Manila to Kuala Lumpur, the airline’s mega hub. From there, travelers can board non-stop flights to Jeddah, the principal gateway to Mecca, with a flight duration of approximately nine hours.
To further support Muslim travelers, AirAsia offers access to Ikhlas, a dedicated online platform providing faith-based services. Through Ikhlas, passengers can book Umrah and Hajj travel packages, access Shariah-compliant lifestyle services, and explore Muslim-friendly travel options. The platform is available via ikhlas.com or the Ikhlas mobile app.
“As an airline that deeply values diversity and inclusivity, we want to take part in meaningful journeys such as pilgrimage. Our fly-thru option conveniently connects our guests from one AirAsia destination to another without the hassle of collecting baggage at the transit hub. Our Muslim brothers and sisters can also fly with confidence as we offer a variety of Halal-certified in-flight meal options that are thoughtfully aligned with their dietary requirements,” according to AirAsia Philippines Communications and Public Affairs Head, First Officer Steve Dailisan.
AirAsia Philippines continues to uphold its mission of providing affordable and accessible air travel while ensuring a welcoming experience for passengers of all backgrounds. With these enhanced services, the airline reaffirms its dedication to supporting the Muslim community, especially during Ramadan, a time of deep spiritual significance.
