AirAsia Philippines is expanding its presence in Japan by adding Nagoya as its third destination in the country.
Nagoya, one of the largest cities in Japan, is home to over two million residents, 57,000 of which are Filipinos.
The low-cost airline is offering a P888 one-way base fare to Nagoya for bookings made at the AirAsiaMOVE app and airasia.com until August 11, 2024 for travel from its maiden flight on October 29, 2024 to March 29, 2025.
According to AirAsia Philippines CEO Ricky Isla, Japan is a prominent market for the airline and they have already transported 210,000 passengers in the first half of 2024.
"We are confident we will double the 270,000 guests flown in 2023 with our competitive airfares, more services, better flight timings and world leading service," Isla said.
A recent study from Statista revealed that 48.8 percent of Filipinos choose Japan as a preferred holiday destination.
Statista is a German online platform that specializes in data gathering and visualization.
AirAsia data shows 65 percent of travelers who went to Japan in the past six months were Filipinos in the 30 - 50 year age bracket, most of whom booked their flights for immediate travel within two months.
Located at the "Heart of Japan," travelers can enjoy Nagoya's rich culture and flourishing industries.
Some of Nagoya's best destinations include the Nagoya Castle, Shirakawago National Heritage Site, Tateyama Kurube Alpine Route and the famous Osu Shopping Street.
Nagoya is also a gateway to other destinations in Japan such as the Chubu Region, which also offers a great scenery of Mt. Fuji.
Isla added that AirAsia Philippines is preparing to fly to Nagoya beginning October 29, in time for autumn offering an unforgettable sightseeing experience with a combination of sunny and cooler weather, perfect for exploring the city and surroundings.
The AirAsia Philippines flight bound for Nagoya is set to land at Chubu Centrair International Airport as planned.
