Special flight from Manila arrives today with CAAP officials and guests
AirAsia, the World’s Best Low Cost Airline, today flew a special flight from Manila to Panglao International Airport, the Philippines’ newest and first “eco-airport” located in Bohol province.
AirAsia Philippines CEO and pilot Captain Dexter Comendador said, “We are delighted to be finally operating in the new airport that will offer our guest passengers one of the best airport experiences and facilities in the country. Aside from its sustainable and eco-friendly structures, Panglao International Airport provides access to international tourists making Bohol with its abundant attractions the next premiere destination in Asia.”
To celebrate the new airport’s opening, AirAsia upon approval from the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) led a proving flight from Manila to Panglao International Airport using the airline’s brand new Airbus A320 with CAAP officials and guests from the media and online community on board the special flight.
“Aside from tourism, trade and business, it brings us so much pride to be Bohol’s official carrier. Boholanons are known for their excellent service culture which is also one of the hallmarks of AirAsia’s brand of service. It’s going to be an exciting time for all of us,” Comendador said in his message to guests onboard the special AirAsia flight.
