AirAsia's Philippine unit has launched its first flights from Clark to Davao City and Kalibo, Aklan.
AirAsia Group CEO Tony Fernandes said: “We want to bring lots more tourists to the Philippines... AirAsia is not out to take away market share, but to grow the market. We grew the market in Malaysia, and wherever we go, we grow the market.”
The airline will add two more aircraft to its fleet of two new A320s this year as it expands its domestic network and begins regional flights once approval has been given.
"We started with domestic flights. We will soon launch regional flights. We have applied for rights, but the approvals will come from the other side," she said.
