AirAsia Philippines wins GOLD for Innovation in Communications at the Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards 2022

Manila, Philippines, 21 April 2022 - AirAsia Philippines was named the winner of a Gold Stevie® Award for the Innovation in Lifestyle Videos category at the ninth annual Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards – the sole winner in this category across the Asia-Pacific. Snagging the award for the airline is Allstars at Your Service (AYS), the pioneering and only online aviation magazine show in the Philippines.

The world’s best low-cost airline also bagged the Bronze Stevie® Award for its content and influencer program #AirlineOfTheStars, which leveraged the airline’s strong partnership with more than 35 showbiz and social media a-listers such as Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray, Box Office Star Vice Ganda, and Celebrity Couple Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla.

AirAsia Philippines Spokesperson and Head of Communications and Public Affairs Steve Dailisan shares: “Allstars at Your Service and #AirlineOfTheStars are among our many efforts to stay connected with our guests while most were still isolated in their homes over the past two and half years. It was crucial for all travel enterprises then to continue sharing their stories and letting their audiences know the latest information relevant to tourism. We are glad to have given our industry partners – hotels, restaurants, MSMEs, public agencies – a solid platform for their stories. This is our way of thanking and supporting them as we aimed to continue to remain top of mind  during the pandemic. AirAsia campaigns like AYS will continue to change the game as we all look forward to a safe resumption of travel this year.”

Allstars at Your Service (AYS), a magazine show originally conceptualized and produced by AirAsia homegrown talents with News Anchor-turned-Pilot Steve Dailisan, and AirAsia Cabin Crew/Influencers Princess Guevarra and Alvin Lasco as hosts, featured top leisure destinations and essential travel information to inspire and educate viewers on where to go post pandemic

Meanwhile, the #AirlineOfTheStars campaign significantly boosted confidence among Filipinos on domestic travel through a creative collaboration with the airline’s celebrity influencers. More importantly, the campaign highlighted that the celebrity-type flight experience is available for all guests of AirAsia.

AirAsia Philippines Chief Executive Officer Ricky Isla said: “We are grateful for all the celebrities who joined our educational and entertainment campaigns like Allstars at Your Service. Their evangelization of new normal traveling was pivotal in our resilience strategy during the pandemic and in supporting the many businesses that relied on tourism. These content creators and media practitioners were also generous in lending their social platforms to AirAsia while championing safe traveling and rebuilding confidence among key stakeholders in the tourism sector.”

“More than frequently seeing celebrity a-listers on board, it’s also important to highlight that all of our guests get to be treated like a star, anchored in AirAsia values of celebrating all individuals. Sa inyong lahat, maraming salamat po.”

The Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards are the only business awards program to recognize innovation in the workplace in all 29 nations of the Asia-Pacific region.  The Stevie Awards are widely considered to be the world's premier business awards, conferring recognition for achievement in programs such as The International Business Awards® for 20 years.

More than 900 nominations from organizations across the Asia-Pacific region were considered this year in categories such as Award for Excellence in Innovation in Products & Services, Award for Innovative Management, and Award for Innovation in Corporate Websites, among many others. AirAsia is joined by other Gold Stevie® awardees from the Philippines like Meralco, IBM Philippines, Megaworld Foundation, PLDT-Smart and Globe Telecom and Home Credit Philippines.

A-list celebrities, influencers, credible industry and trade partners recognized in the Philippines’ 1st Aviation Award Giving Body— AirAsia Stellar Awards 2022

Manila, Philippines, 22 March 2022 – AirAsia Philippines today gave recognition to more than 100 media, celebrity and industry partners at the inaugural AirAsia STELLAR AWARDS  , as the first and only aviation award giving body in the country.

Receiving the STELLAR OF THE YEAR AWARD is Ana Patricia Non who sparked hope, inspiration and admiration among Filipinos at the height of the strict lockdowns, through her community ppantry initiative which started with a bamboo cart packed with vegetables and food products made available for the underprivileged.  This spirit of Bayanihan was replicated all over the Philippines, allowing Filipinos to share whatever extra food items they  have, with  those most in need.

“Give what you want and take what you need.  The gracious reminder on the sign that hangs at every community pantry reminds everyone, regardless of sex, age, religion and status in life to always share their blessings with others, no matter how big or small.  Through the community pantry, we survived and thrived towards the pandemic.  Through the community pantry, we aim to strengthen and keep the Filipino spirit of Bayanihan alive in these trying times.  This recognition from AirAsia is a testament that I am on the right path,” Patricia reminded the Allstars and all guests present at the event.

Quad media partners ABS-CBN, GMA 7, CNN PH, PTV 4, Sonshine Media Network, DZBB, DZRH, DWIZ, Radyo Pinas, DZAR, DZME, Philippine Daily Inquirer, Philippine Star, Manila Bulletin, Manila Standard, Daily Tribune, Malaya, Business Mirror, Business World, Rappler, GMA News Online, Philippine News Agency, Negros Daily Bulletin, Mindanao Daily, iOrbit, AirTraveller PH & Flyhigh Manila, Orange Magazine, Take Off PH, Adobo Magazine and Recycle Bin of a Middle Child were also given special recognition during the event.    

Numerous brand and industry partners were also recognized for their valuable contributions in ensuring the survival of both the aviation and tourism industry.  The Department of Transportation (DOTr), Department of Tourism (DOT) and the Tourism Promotions Board (TPB), Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP), Bohol Association of Hotels Resorts and Restaurants (BAHRR), Hotel Resort and Restaurant Association of Cebu, Inc. (HRRACI), Crimson Resorts and Spa, Feliz Hotel Boracay, Belmont Hotel Boracay, Bluewater Maribago Beach Resort, as well as travel partners Expedia Travel Services, VIA Philippines Travel Corporation, Las Palmas Tours and Travel Agency, Inc., and international partners Chongqing Xinwen Travel Services Co. Ltd. (CAN) and Nawaloka Air Services (HRI) were also accorded a STELLAR recognition.    

AirAsia Chief Executive Officer Ricardo “Ricky” Isla said, “Stellar Awards is the culmination of all the hard work we have done over the past two years to keep not only AirAsia Philippines afloat, but to also support the tourism industry which was similarly , very badly hit by the pandemic.  We wouldn’t have done it without the help of our friends from the media and celebrities who have always backed our programs and projects.  Also, the incredible support which we received  from our industry partners also shed light to this path, and tonight, they shine the brightest as we bested them with the STELLAR AWARD.”

Held at the AirAsia Philippines Red Point Headquarters at the NAIA Terminal 3, the event also signified the recovery of the aviation and tourism industry two years after the onset of the global pandemic.  

Shining as bright as the STELLAR AWARDS, the Hall of the Stars, similar to the Hollywood Walk of Fame, was also unveiled earlier that day.  A collection of photos of celebrities and influencers along with the AirAsia aircraft livery since 2020, the Hall of the Stars, a brainchild of AirAsia Communications and Public Affairs Head Steve Dailisan aims to stimulate  confidence in air travel and inspire everyone to travel and rediscover the Philippines once again.

Celebrities who are part of the Hall of the Stars also received recognition in the Stellar Awards.  Catriona Gray was awarded the Stellar Travel Ambassador and Allstars Choice Award being voted by the Filipino Allstars (employees) for her relentless contribution in promoting safe travels, thereby helping local economies rebound from the ill effects of the pandemic.

Meanwhile, Vice Ganda was bested the first-ever Stellar Youtuber of the Year for contributing to the wide exposure of AirAsia and its advocacies by vlogging with YouTube as the main platform.

The hottest couple on Philippine cinema – Jerald Napoles & Kim Molina meanwhile was awarded as the Stellar Travel Couple for pursuing their #TravelGoals with AirAsia while supporting the advocacy of rebuilding confidence in air travel and tourism.

Arci Munoz on the other hand was hailed as the Stellar Trendy Traveller, while Kim Chiu was awarded the #Airlineofthestars Trending Photo.  Beks Batallion and Donekla in Tandem both received the Stellar Fun Traveler Award and Sofia Pablo received the Youth Stellar Award.

AirAsia Spokesperson and Head of Communications and Public Affairs Steve Dailisan said, “AirAsia Hall of the Stars is also a testament to AirAsia’s commitment to stellar guest service for all that fly with us - celebrity or not.  Everyone can fly like a movie star, and influencer or a vlogger with AirAsia.  Indeed, stories are best told and experienced when you fly with us.”

Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) General Manager Eddie Monreal, CAAP Director Atty. Alexander Paul Rivera, CAB Deputy Director General for Administration John Estabillo and Tourism and Promotions Board (TPB) Chief Operating Officer Maria Anthonette Velasco-Allones joined Mr. Isla and Super App Philippines Country Head Ray Berja in unveiling the Hall of the Stars.

AirAsia welcomes February with Chinese New Year and 2.2 Travel Promos

The world’s best low-cost airline is rolling out discount promos on flights, hotels and in-flight add-on purchases.

Manila, Philippines, 25 January 2022 – AirAsia, the world’s best low-cost airline, is welcoming February with huge discounts on flights, hotels and ancillary products through its CNY Deals Never Stop Promo and 2.2 Save Now, Fly Later Sale.

AirAsia joins the rest of the tourism sector of the Philippines in championing safe domestic travels this year in a bid to jumpstart the recovery of travel businesses – from small to large enterprises. To achieve this, the travel and lifestyle company is rolling out multiple bang-for-buck deals for flights and other travel essentials like hotel bookings and in-flight add-on purchases. AirAsia Philippines maintains its optimism for a growth in the traveling populace this year, a forecast backed by a survey that has shown more Filipinos are confident to travel in the next nine months.

The same survey has also shown that AirAsia guests stay loyal to the travel company because of the value for money it offers (80%) and promos and package deals (69%). This is reflective of AirAsia’s own DNA of attainable travel enabling everyone to fly.

AirAsia Philippines Spokesperson and Head of Communications and Public Affairs Steve Dailisan shares: “As we continue to learn how to better live safely in a pandemic, we see the rise in the confidence for travel among Filipinos. We at AirAsia would like to help more Filipino families and friends to reconnect this year to celebrate milestones and seasons they have missed in recent years. This is why the coverage of flight bookings for our CNY and 2.2 deals goes as far as Q3. We are truly excited and ready to welcome more of our kababayans aboard AirAsia this 2022. Xin Nian Kuai Le!”

Guests traveling from January 17 to September 30, 2022 can book their flights and avail of the CNY Deals Never Stop Promo until January 30 to base fares available at as low as Php 188. 10 percent may also be slashed off of staycations and hotel stays with the use of the 2.2 Sale promo code ‘AAHOTEL10’.

The Php 188 base fare deal is perfect for those seeking luck on the road in 2022 as it is believed in numerology that numbers bearing multiple instances of eight are extra lucky! And lucky are the passengers grabbing this promo – may it be for seasonals like Valentine’s, Summer or simple family getaways – as it covers flights booked for until end-September.

But those with a top-tier waiting game may snag a Php 22 base fare flight during the actual 2.2 Save Now, Fly Later sale from February 2 to 4. The travel period for this is from June 01 to September 30, 2022.

AirAsia Philippines makes travel seamless with the Health Travel Icon on the airasia Super App

Manila, 24 September 20201 - In its continuing commitment to make air travel better and even safer in the new normal, AirAsia Philippines’ guests will soon experience seamless verification of vaccine information through airasia Super App in collaboration with the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT).

The Travel Health Icon will soon be made available to all passengers through the AirAsia Super App, and the airasia website for desktop users.  Under the new integrated system, verified vaccination information of guests will be uploaded on the airasia Super App through the Department of Health’s (DOH) VaxCertPH.        

The DICT recently developed VaxCertPH for the DOH to help verify legitimacy and certify a passenger’s vaccination status.  This is also in compliance with the World Health Organization’s (WHO) guidelines on the issuance of digital vaccine certificates.

AirAsia Philippines CEO Ricky Isla said, “Integrating the AirAsia Health Travel Icon into the airasia Super App is our way of supporting the immediate and swift recovery not only of the airline industry, but the country’s tourism sector as a whole.  It further defines the digital direction of our company.  We will continue to create and develop system enhancements which will level up the digital travel experience of our guests.”

Aside from making travel experience smooth, the Health Travel Icon is also seen to add another layer of security and safety across all domestic flights and airports in the country, especially now that leisure travel has started to pick-up following the re-opening of borders for travelers originating from the National Capital Region (NCR).    

A similar AirAsia Health Travel Icon is currently undergoing a trial phase in Indonesia. The trial phase here in the Philippines will commence towards October of 2021 in time for the expected influx of passengers homebound for the holidays these “Ber Months”.

“While we are all looking forward to the trial phase of the special feature of the app in the Philippines, we are also exploring future enhancements such as making RT-PCR Test or Antigen test results available on the Super App in the near future,” added Isla.

AirAsia Philippines continually reminds its guests to adhere to strict health and safety protocols and get their travel requirements from legit sources.  Guests were also reminded of the repercussions if caught forging documents or submitting fake test results.

“Hot seat upgrade” for fully vaccinated AirAsia Philippines (Z2) guests

AirAsia Philippines is taking another move to encourage more people to go out and be vaccinated, this time by providing fully vaccinated guests with a hot seat upgrade starting July 19 until August 31, 2021.  

This initiative is also in support of AirAsia's “Take the Shot” internal campaign which encourages everyone to take their vaccine shot when available and regardless of the brand.  

Fully vaccinated guests who pre-booked a standard seat can avail of the hot seat upgrade at the check-in counter by presenting a physical or digital vaccination card complete with vaccine doses. They may choose from rows 2 to 5 and 12 to 14 for all AirAsia Philippines domestic flights.  

Hot seat upgrade is also available in all AirAsia stations and can be redeemed at AirAsia sales and service counters throughout the country.  An individual is considered fully vaccinated two weeks or 14 days after having his second dose of any COVID-19 vaccine.            

AirAsia Philippines Spokesperson Steve Dailisan said, “Safety Always is one of our core values in AirAsia.  While strict health and safety protocols are now part of our new normal, we wanted to go further towards achieving our country’s herd immunity.  We hope that simple gestures like a hot seat upgrade would motivate more people to get vaccinated whenever available.  It is only then that we will fully achieve total confidence in air travel and the full recovery of the tourism industry.”    

Hot seat upgrade is subject to availability and on a first come, first served basis.

Last week fully vaccinated guests onboard AirAsia flights Z2-775 and Z2-776, (Manila-Cebu and Cebu-Manila) were given special treats like the AlwaysREDy Care kit and other AirAsia exclusive merchandise.  The flight which was also manned by a fully-vaccinated flight and cabin crew received positive feedback from the guests.

AirAsia Philippines is targeting to have its entire workforce vaccinated towards the end of 2021.  To date 60% of the total 1,513 Filipino Allstars have been inoculated.
