After a six month delay brought by covid19 pandemic, AirAsia Philippines (AAP) will continue its plan to expand its network in Mindanao, by adding Zamboanga and General Santos to its route network beginning October 25.

While the earlier flight plan in March calls for Clark-Zamboanga-Clark and Clark-General Santos-Clark, this time around it will be Manila-Zamboanga-Manila and Manila-General Santos Manila, after the airline secured slots in Manila.

AirAsia Philippines chief executive officer Ricardo Isla said the carrier hopes to help stimulate economic activity, allowing businesses to recover and thrive.

Manila-General Santos flight is scheduled to be flown thrice a week while Zamboanga will be flown twice a week.

AAP has mounted multiple chartered flights to Zamboanga and General Santos, transporting passengers and cargo to and from the carrier's hubs, according to Isla.

Isla added that having flights in these routes is a timely response to the demand as they are able to acquire landing slots of this routes.

Zamboanga International airport only opens commercial flight every Monday and Thursday, while charter flights are flown everyday.
