Low-cost airline AirAsia Philippines has already served over 6.6 million passengers in 2024, surpassing the number of passengers it carried in 2023.
The growth in the number of passengers can be linked to an increase in holiday travel that started in November and is projected to reach its peak in December.
The airline said on Wednesday that as of mid-November, it has already booked 89 percent of its total seat sales for 2023, with bookings up by six percent compared to the same period last year.
Furthermore, 79 percent of the goal of eight million has already been reached for 2024.
This increase is due to more people returning home from the provinces, as well as a greater interest in leisurely travel.
The highly anticipated Piso Sale this November 4 - 10 sold a total of 165,000 seats, with Cebu emerging as the most booked domestic destination and Taipei leading international bookings.
For overall bookings from November to December, Boracay remains the top destination.
"With the busiest holiday season just around the corner, we are optimistic in reaching our passenger goal for 2024. This time of year is extra special for Filipinos, as many are eager to reconnect with loved ones. We're already seeing strong demand across both our domestic and international routes. We encourage our guests to look out for exciting holiday promotions, as we remain committed to delivering an exceptional travel experience that makes AirAsia the airline of choice," Steve Dailisan, AirAsia Philippines spokesman, said.
