AirAsia Philippines is launching its Clark-Taiwan flights on July 12, 2018, the Clark International Airport Corp. (CIAC) this week announced.
AirAsia will have thrice weekly flights from Clark International Airport (International Code: CRK) to the Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport, which serves the capital Taipei and northern Taiwan.
“This new development is an opportunity to explore the beauty of both the Philippines and Taiwan and will benefit travelers, tourists, OFWs and their families,” remarked CIAC president and chief executive officer Alexander Cauguiran.
“The Taipei flights are also advantageous to numerous Taiwanese locators and other business travelers based in Clark and Subic,” he added.
AirAsia also services domestic routes such as Kalibo, Caticlan, Puerto Princesa, Iloilo, Tacloban and Davao via Clark airport.
At present, CRK is serving 158 international and 323 domestic flights making it one of the busiest airports in the country today.
The airport also serves more than 7,000 passengers daily since President Rodrigo Duterte designated it to become an alternative to Manila’s overcrowded airport.
“There’s definitely a surge at Clark airport in terms of the number of flights, destinations and passenger volume, along with the improvements of its facilities,” he confirmed.
The CIAC registered 8,736 passengers last April 23, the highest recorded number of travelers in a day that passed through Clark in the history of CIAC since 1995.
AirAsia Philippines CEO Captain Dexter Comendador said, “We are here to provide only the best service possible and massive connectivity across Asean, Asia and, beyond.”
AirAsia has a special promo fare of P990 One Way All-In fare for the Clark-Taipei flights. Air Asia will start On-Line Booking Period by May 6, 2018 and Travel Period on July 12, 2018 to October 27, 2018.
