SEPANG, 5 April 2018 – AirAsia will make changes to its flight schedule in line with the Philippine government order to temporarily close the island of Boracay for rehabilitation from 26 April to 26 October 2018.

During this six-month period, AirAsia will make the following changes to its scheduled Caticlan (MPH) and Kalibo (KLO) flights:

Flights with no changes

In order not to disrupt our guests’ holiday plans, AirAsia will be mounting additional flights to popular leisure destinations Palawan, Bohol, Cebu, and Davao in the Philippines.
