To attract more travelers and create a memorable summer experience, the World’s Best Low-Cost Airline has organized the second leg of the AirAsia Fly Fest in the Queen City of the South on 27-28 May 2023. Taking place at the Ayala Center Terraces, this two-day event will not only provide great deals on flights, destinations, and activities but will also offer visa services.
AirAsia Philippines recognizes Cebu as a viable alternative to Manila International Airport, particularly due to the increasing number of international flights to destinations such as Narita, Osaka, Seoul, Kaohsiung, Kuala Lumpur, and Shenzhen.
“We would like our guests, solo and group travelers alike, especially those coming from Central Visayas to familiarize themselves with our flights from Mactan-Cebu International Airport as this will not only save more travel time but will also foster inclusive growth within the region,” according to Steve Dailisan, AirAsia Philippines Communications and Public Affairs Country Head.

Among Filipino travelers, the top five most popular destinations this summer are Cebu, Boracay, Tacloban, Iloilo, and Bohol. For international travel, the top-booked summer destinations are Taipei, Incheon, Bangkok, Narita, and Osaka.
“The surge in bookings this summer reflects a strong rebound in travel demand. We are thrilled to witness such enthusiasm from travelers, with reservations reaching unprecedented levels. We attribute this overwhelming development to the continuous opening of international destinations, added flight frequencies, and the Filipino’s strong appetite for travel. AirAsia Philippines is committed to providing exceptional service and ensuring a safe and enjoyable journey for all our guests,” Dailisan added.
The airline observed that a significant number of summer seat bookings were made online, either through the airasia Super App or the AirAsia website, indicating the strong preference of Filipinos for online platforms.
