MANILA, Philippines – Philippines’ Airasia will reduce its flights from Clark to Taiwan, Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong and Singapore effective June 15.

The local unit of Malaysia’s budget airline giant said in a statement released Monday, June 10 that the move is part of an “operational realignment.”

Airasia flights between Clark and KL will be reduced to 3 times a week from 10; Clark and Hong Kong to daily from 10 times a week; Taipei to 4 times a week from daily; and Singapore to 3 times a week from 7.

“Guests that are affected by the reduction of frequencies and hold flight bookings after June 15 will be offered options to alleviate the inconvenience caused and each affected guest will be notified via their registered member email account, as well as an SMS notification of the route realignment,” Airasia said.

AirAsia also operates flights out of Davao, Puerto Princesa and Kalibo.

In March, the carrier entered into a strategic alliance with low-cost carrier Zest Air through a share swap deal with the group of former ambassador and juice drink magnate Alfredo Yao. Once completed, this will allow AirAsia to fly out of Manila and grow market share, and give Zest Air the support it needs for expansion. – Rappler.com
