PHILIPPINES-BASED LCC AirAsia Zest will double the number of flights between Manila and Incheon in South Korea as passenger traffic on the route heats up, as well as launch a Kalibo-Taipei service next month.
Beginning May 1, AirAsia Zest will increase flights on said route from once to twice a day. The new frequency departs Manila at 14.55 and arrives in Incheon at 19.55 while Manila-bound services leave Incheon at 20.55 to touch down at 00.10 the next day.
Joy Caneba, executive vice president and COO of AirAsia Zest, said the services would “open up new affordable access between countries especially this summer when more and more Koreans are looking forward to bask in the Philippine sun” and Filipinos travel to South Korea.
To mark the occasion, the LCC is selling promotional seats with base fares starting at 599 pesos (US$13.40), available for booking online between March 19 and 30. Tickets are valid for travel from May 1 to June 30.
AirAsia Zest is also due to launch new daily direct flights linking Kalibo (Boracay) and Taipei from April 15. Promotional fares for this route are also available on the AirAsia website.
