AirAsia Philippines hits 3 Million Guests in 1H 2025, records 85% Load Factor



With almost 3 million passengers served nationwide and internationally so far this year, AirAsia Philippines is pleased to celebrate a successful first half of 2025.

At 85%, the airline likewise demonstrated a great load factor performance, with Taipei ranking as the top international destination and Puerto Princesa as the top domestic destination.

“We’re proud to have started the year strong with an 85% load factor, 80% of which comprises domestic travelers. This strong performance signals positive growth for local tourism. We remain focused on supporting this through initiatives like the AirAsia Fiesta Series and and promotional campaigns tied to local festivals, encouraging Filipinos to explore and take part in the cultural festivities across the country, alongside our usual double-digit and P1SO sales.” ~First Officer Steve Dailisan, AirAsia Philippines Communications and Corporate Affairs Head

To maintain its strong momentum in foreign travel, AirAsia has boosted flight frequency on numerous major routes. Flights to Kota Kinabalu have been upgraded from three to seven times per week.  Beginning July 1, flights to Taipei will increase from 14 to 17 times each week. These changes are intended to improve connectivity and provide more flexibility for both leisure and business travelers.

As part of its commitment to reinvigorate  travel among Filipinos, AirAsia recently launched over 400,000 promo seats to boost travel during the late summer and off-peak seasons.

From now until June 1, 2025, travelers can book one-way base fares for as low as PHP 185 to favorite island destinations including Boracay (via Caticlan), Kalibo, Bohol (Tagbilaran), and Puerto Princesa. The travel period runs from May 5 to October 31, 2025, perfect for spontaneous getaways or early planning for less crowded adventures.
