With an extensive flight network, excellent transfer services, and unbeatable value, AirAsia encourages travelers to begin their journey in Manila and Cebu and explore the thousands of islands of the Philippines with AirAsia.

Chen Chang-hsing, General Manager of Marketing and Sales at AirAsia Taiwan, said that observing the younger generation’s desire for in-depth cultural experiences, as well as the current trend of “light travel” among budget-conscious travelers, AirAsia has launched the “Taipei–Manila” and “Taipei–Cebu” routes, which are just over two hours’ flight from Taipei. The airline aims to encourage travelers to use this tightly-knit route network as a gateway to further explore the rich and diverse culture of the Philippines, including destinations such as Boracay, Bohol, and Palawan.
