AirAsia Philippines is strengthening its international presence in two of its major hubs – Manila and Cebu, with the return of the Manila-Shanghai flight and two new routes out of the Queen City of the South to Shenzhen and Narita.
“The reopening of international routes is part of AirAsia Philippines’ recovery plan. 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. As the World’s Best Low-Cost Airline that pioneered affordable air travel, we will continue to give our guests the best value for their money,” said AirAsia Philippines Communications and Public Affairs Country Head Steve Dailisan, announcing that two new flights out of the Mactan-Cebu International Airport (MCIA) will be opened in June and July 2023.
The Cebu-Shenzhen, China direct flight will be launched on 2 June 2023, while the Cebu-Narita, Japan route will be opened on 1 July 2023. On the other hand, 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.
