AirAsia Philippines to Launch Flights to Zamboanga from Cebu and Clark

AirAsia has confirmed plans to launch flights to Zamboanga from both Cebu and Clark in Philippines.

Located at the southernmost tip of the Zamboanga Peninsula in Mindanao, Zamboanga city was once a Spanish settlement and Hispanic influences can still be seen in buildings and structures.

Also known as the sardine capital of Philippines, Zamboanga city supplies around 90% of the country’s canned sardines, an industry worth approximately US$16 million in annual export earnings to the city.

AirAsia Philippines CEO, Ricky Isla, said, “We are pleased to announce our new domestic destination, Zamboanga. Our newest route cements AirAsia’s connections amongst the country’s major islands: Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. The launching of the new route is in support of Tourism Secretary Bernadette Romulo Puyat’s push for a livelier tourism within the Philippines and her department’s campaign, ‘It’s More Fun in the Philippines.’”

Flight Z2 461 is scheduled to depart from Clark at 13:40 and arrive in Zamboanga at 15:25. From Zamboanga, flight Z2 462 is timed to leave at 15:55 and arrive in Clark at 17:40. AirAsia will operate these flights four times per week.
