AirAsia Philippines said Wednesday it is ready for a stronger travel demand in the coming months as the government placed Metro Manila and 38 other provinces under Alert Level 1 beginning March 1.
The airline said that even before the lowering of the alert level, it already recorded 145,978 seats sold for travel from March 1 to 31. This represented an increase of 131 percent from the same month of 2021.
“AirAsia Philippines attributes this significant increase to revenge traveling with relaxed travel protocols being implemented in most of its destinations. In fact, we are looking forward to sustaining full capacity in time for the various festivities in the different provinces we fly to,” AirAsia Philippines spokesperson Steve Dailisan said.
“Our contribution to our LGU destinations moving forward is to bring as many guests as much as we can with strict adherence to standard health and safety protocols,” he said.
