To accommodate more Filipino travelers in preparation for All Souls and All Saints Day, AirAsia Philippines has increased its level of readiness.
As of 16 October, more than 65,000 passengers flying AirAsia had booked more than 700 flights to various domestic destinations, with travel set for 28 October to 2 November as the country enters one of its busiest times of the year. The most popular travel destinations this season are Caticlan, Cebu, Tagbilaran, Tacloban, Davao, Puerto Princesa, and Iloilo.
AirAsia Philippines Communications and Public Affairs Country Head First Officer Steve Dailisan said they know how important this annual commemoration is to most Filipinos, and AirAsia is more than ready to accommodate the greater influx of travelers during these times. They have enough manpower to meet increased operational requirements and augmented customer happiness helpdesks at NAIA Terminal 2. Their guests can count on their very reliable Allstars team, which observes the highest standards of safety in flight and on the ground. In fact, their on-time performance over the past few weeks registered a high of 97%.
Dailisan added that to ensure the continued safety and swift travel of their guests, the airline continues to coordinate and align its efforts with its regulatory partners at the Department of Transportation, the Manila International Airport Authority, and the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines.
To seamlessly facilitate convenience in air travel, AirAsia's NAIA T2 home is equipped with 20 check-in counters. Guests may also opt to check-in via self-check-in kiosks or via app.
Filipinos are not confined to reunions and visiting relatives this Undas, as AirAsia Philippines also noted an increase in international leisure travels this season, especially for Incheon, Taipei, Osaka, Hong Kong, Narita, and Bangkok.
Dailisan also shared that apart from observing Undas, Filipinos are also taking advantage of the extended holiday slated from October 31 until November 2 and the low-fare promotions AirAsia mounted during the previous months, with the 31st of October having been declared a special non-working holiday by Malcandang.
On Wednesday, AirAsia Philippines will officially open its newest ticketing office located at NAIA Terminal 3 in order to better service its customers.
