ATRAVELUX TRAVEL TIPS & ADVISORY

COMMERCIAL AIRLINES & DESTINATION IN PHILIPPINES

Air travel is something every person has to go through at least once, especially in an archipelago like the Philippines. Most people can get around by car, bus, boat, or RORO (short for roll-on, roll-off) for short trips. However, air travel is still your best bet if you want to go to different islands outside Luzon.

For those who want to get around by plane, here’s a list of commercial airlines in the Philippines:

AirAsia Philippines is a low-cost commercial airline affiliated with the Malaysian low-cost carrier AirAsia. Currently, it operates to ten destinations in the country, namely Cagayan De Oro, Caticlan, Cebu, Clark, Davao, Iloilo, Kalibo, Manila, Puerto Princesa, Tacloban, and Tagbilaran.
