Manila, 1 August 2024 - AirAsia Philippines is further expanding in  Japan  by introducing Nagoya as its 3rd destination. One of the  largest cities in Japan, Nagoya is home to over two  million residents, 57,000 of which are Filipinos. 

To celebrate this milestone, the World’s Best Low-Cost Airline is offering a PHP 888 one-way base fare to Nagoya for bookings made at the AirAsia MOVE app and airasia.com until 11 August 2024 for travel from its maiden flight on 29 October 2024 to 29 March 2025.

“Japan is one of the strongest regional markets for  AirAsia Philippines. In fact, we’ve already flown 210,000 guests for the first half of 2024. We are confident we will double the 270,000 guests flown in 2023 with our competitive airfares, more services, better flight timings and world leading  service”, AirAsia Philippines CEO Ricky Isla shares.

A recent study from Statista revealed that 48.8% of Filipinos choose  Japan as a preferred  holiday destination. AirAsia data  shows 65% of travelers who went to Japan in the past six  months were Filipinos in the 30 - 50 year  age bracket, most of whom  booked their flights for immediate travel within two months.

Located at the “Heart of Japan”, travelers can  enjoy Nagoya’s rich culture and flourishing industries. Some of Nagoya’s best destinations include the Nagoya Castle, Shirakawago National Heritage Site, Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route and the famous Osu Shopping Street.  Nagoya is also a gateway to other destinations in Japan such as the Chubu Region, which also offers a great scenery of Mt. Fuji.    

AirAsia Philippines  is preparing  to fly to Nagoya beginning 29 October, in time for autumn offering an unforgettable sightseeing experience with  a combination of sunny and cooler  weather, perfect for exploring the city and surroundings.
