PHILIPPINES’ AirAsia has launched its maiden services from Clark International Airport to Kalibo (Boracay) in the Visayas, and Davao in Mindanao.
The low-cost carrier, which received its air operator’s certificate from the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines last month, operates two new Airbus A320 aircraft on the twice-daily services from Clark to Francisco Bangoy International Airport in Davao and twice-daily flights from Clark to Kalibo International Airport.
“We picked Davao, because it is an important gateway to Mindanao, and Kalibo, because of Boracay, which is an international popular tourist spot. Our Clark to Davao and Clark to Kalibo flights will make air travel for Northern and Central Luzon passengers more convenient,” said Philippines’ AirAsia CEO, Maan Hontiveros.
Meanwhile, the airline has ordered two more A320s to be delivered within the year, and is planning to tap into the Northern and Central Luzon and Metro Manila markets.
