CEBU, PHILIPPINES — In a bid to strengthen Cebu as an alternative hub to Manila, AirAsia Philippines successfully brought the festivities, fun, and excitement of Fly Fest to the Queen City of the South.
The event, attended by representatives from the Cebu City and Lapu-Lapu City Tourism Office, and the Cebu Chamber of Commerce and Industry, gave travelers a glimpse of AirAsia Philippines’ huge plan for the Cebu hub.
Attended by travel junkies from Cebu and neighboring provinces including Bohol and Dumaguete, the event outlined how Filipinos are on track to booking international destinations with four weekly flights to Taipei, three weekly flights to Kuala Lumpur and Seoul, two weekly flights to Shenzhen beginning next month, and daily flights to Tokyo starting July.
Other international destinations Filipinos should watch out for include Seoul, Taipei, Kaoshiung, Hong Kong, Macao, and Shanghai.
AirAsia also flies twice daily to Boracay and Puerto Princesa, and Davao daily from Cebu.
AirAsia Philippines CEO Ricky Isla said, “Now that AirAsia Philippines is on full throttle towards sustaining its Q2 success towards the rest of 2023, we are now offering Cebu via Mactan-Cebu International Airport as an alternative hub to Ninoy Aquino International Airport for Cebuano and Central Visayas travelers planning to fly domestic and abroad. Backed with our world-class service and affordable rates, we intend to entice more Visayan travelers to gain new travel experiences.”
