AirAsia flights normalize after eruption of Taal Volcano

MANILA, 15 January 2020 - All AirAsia flights within and to/from the Philippines today are set to fly as scheduled, as airline operations gradually normalize following the eruption of Taal Volcano.

While flights have resumed, AirAsia continues to monitor the situation and will update guests should there be any changes to flight schedules.

AirAsia also continues to implement precautionary measures for guests, including a thorough assessment of routes and aircraft.

Guests whose flights had been cancelled in previous days have been advised to make the necessary changes to their flights. AirAsia guests are strongly encouraged to check their flight status at  airasia.com/flightstatus for the latest updates.

In light of this natural event, AirAsia is making the following options available to guests whose flights have been cancelled or delayed longer than 3 hours:
