AirAsia Philippines has announced its plans to transport at least 7.5 million passengers in 2025, reflecting confidence in the ongoing recovery and growth of air travel demand. The airline is projected to carry 7.2 million passengers by the end of this year, marking an increase from the 6.6 million recorded in 2023.
The company attributes this growth to a significant expansion of its Airbus A320 fleet, which saw seven new aircraft added in 2024, bringing the total number of active narrowbody planes to 16. This increased capacity has enabled AirAsia Philippines to enhance its service offerings to popular destinations such as Caticlan (Boracay), Cebu, and Tagbilaran (Panglao), as well as international routes including Tokyo Narita, Osaka, Seoul Incheon, and Bangkok.
Tony Fernandes, CEO of Capital A—the parent company of AirAsia—expressed optimism about the airline's role in boosting Philippine tourism: "Our goal is to bring more tourists into the Philippines in 2025 and continue to strengthen our domestic operations. We plan to add more aircraft, launch new routes, and possibly surprise destinations in the coming year."
