Gateway to Central Visayas, AirAsia is banking on Metro Cebu's strong market demand as

evidenced by the Department of Tourism Region 7's tourist arrivals recorded at 5.1 million in

2024.

"Cebu remains a major driver in realizing our growth story in the Philippines. We recognize

the value of this very important route, connecting via Cebu to key domestic and international

leisure markets. We look forward to further broadening opportunities in the tourism sector,

helping generate jobs and ultimately contributing to inclusive economic growth. This initiative also allowed us to welcome new allstar pilots, cabin crew and ramp agents who will

augment the manpower requirements," AirAsia Philippines President & Chief Executive Officer Suresh Bangah.

The Flight Operations Department welcomed hundreds of pilot and cabin crew applicants to

join the roster of highly competent, excellence-driven and safety first people who will eventually be deployed to Cebu.

The reopening of the Cebu hub comes at the perfect time, coinciding with the start of the

"ber" months, a peak season when more guests plan their holiday travels.

As the World's Best Low-Cost Airline, AirAsia remains committed to fulfill its brand mission of democratizing air travel by offering the best-value fares, coupled with a series of exciting
