AirAsia Philippines widens Central Visayas connectivity with New Routes

AirAsia Philippines is strengthening its presence out of the Queen City of the South, Cebu by reopening 3 domestic and 2 international routes. 

Beginning 03 September 2025, Wednesday, guests flying to Iloilo (ILO), Caticlan (MPH), Davao (DVO), Kuala Lumpur (KUL), and Macau (MFM) via Mactan Cebu International Airport may book their tickets via the MOVE app or airasia.com to avail of value-driven fares and services from the World’s best low-cost airline.

Flights to these destinations are expected to commence on 15 November 2025, utilizing Airbus A320 aircraft.

Gateway to Central Visayas, AirAsia is banking on Metro Cebu’s strong market demand as evidenced by the Department of Tourism Region 7’s tourist arrivals recorded at 5.1 million in 2024.

“Cebu remains a major driver in realizing our growth story in the Philippines. We recognize the value of this very important route, connecting via Cebu to key domestic and international leisure markets. We look forward to further broadening opportunities in the tourism sector, helping generate jobs and ultimately contributing to inclusive economic growth. This initiative also allowed us to welcome new all-star pilots, cabin crew, and ramp agents who will augment the manpower requirements,” AirAsia Philippines President & Chief Executive Officer Suresh Bangah.

The Flight Operations Department welcomed hundreds of pilots and cabin crew applicants to join the roster of highly competent, excellence-driven, and safety-first people who will eventually be deployed to Cebu.

The reopening of the Cebu hub comes at the perfect time, coinciding with the start of the “ber” months, a peak season when more guests plan their holiday travels. 

As the World’s Best Low-Cost Airline, AirAsia remains committed to fulfilling its brand mission of democratizing air travel by offering the best-value fares, coupled with a series of exciting promotional sales for our guests flying to and from Cebu.
