The Manila-Shanghai flight which is set to open on 1 July is the last piece in AirAsia Philippines’ China network following the reactivation of the Manila-Shenzhen flight last month.
The two new flights out of the Mactan-Cebu International Airport - Shenzhen which commences on 2 June and Narita which will start to operate on 1 July meanwhile is expected to revitalize the travel experience of Cebuanos and other travelers from Central Visayas as they no longer have to transit to Manila to reach these destinations.
“The reopening of international routes is part of AirAsia Philippines’ recovery plan," says Communications and Public Affairs Country Head Steve Dailisan. "We believe that the Filipinos’ hunger for travel is now strongly backed by opening more international destinations as shown in our forward bookings until the rest of Q2."
To invite more travelers from Manila and those from Central Visayas - Cebu, Bohol, Siquijor, and Negros Oriental to travel via MCIA, the budget airline is offering a P1 one-way base fare to Tokyo, Shenzhen, Seoul, Kaoshiung, Kuala Lumpur, and other international destinations for flights from 3 April to 31 October that are booked until 30 April 2023.
