MANILA, Philippines - Philippines AirAsia will soon launch flights to Puerto Princesa, Palawan.
AirAsia will mount flights from Clark International Airport to Puerto Princesa International Airport in Palawan.
"We have decided to open the Puerto Princesa route earlier than we had planned because of the overwhelming demand. Its new found fame as one of the new seven wonders of nature has generated a lot of interest from both local and international tourists," said AirAsia Inc. CEO Maan Hontiveros, in a statement.
AirAsia will begin its twice daily, Clark-Kalibo and Clark-Davao flights on March 28.
However, the twice daily flights to Davao will be reduced to once daily to allow for the Puerto Princesa route, effective April 15. Guests who already have bookings for the redirected flights will be given an alternative travel option at no cost.
All affected guests will receive an e-mail from AirAsia offering options such as a full refund, a one-time free move of their flights or obtain a credit shell option which is a system that retains the amount of money which can be used for later transactions within 3 months.
Hontiveros defended the reduction in flight frequency to Davao. "We’re a new player and we have to be sensitive to market demand. Palawan is a beautiful destination that travellers from Northern and Central Luzon would want to see. It is a market with lots of potential, popularity and highly likely for us to anticipate additional frequencies," she said. .
When AirAsia has more plans, she said the airline will explore adding flights to Davao.
