On Monday (September 8, 2025), AirAsia announced the official launch of their new Cebu base in the Philippines.  This will serve as a strategic gateway to enhance accessibility between the Philippines and the rest of Asia, including Malaysia, leveraging Cebu’s position as one of the country’s fastest-growing tourism and business centres.  Cebu now joins Manila as a key operating hub for AirAsia Philippines, enabling the carrier to expand their reach to more domestic and international destinations. With the new hub, Malaysian travelers will also enjoy smoother connections to the Visayas and Mindanao regions, along with improved access to popular leisure destinations such as Bohol, Cagayan de Oro and Davao.


In Monday’s announcement, AirAsia’s Chief Commercial Officer, Amanda Woo, said,


“The reopening of the Cebu hub signals AirAsia Group’s strong commitment to the Philippines, exploring new gateways that will drive great economic opportunities.  This shall allow travellers from the southern part of the country to directly access over 130 destinations across Asean, North Asia and Europe via our mega hub in Kuala Lumpur.  We laud our partners from the Mactan Cebu International Airport (MCIA), the Philippine Government and other stakeholders for ensuring the success of this comeback initiative.”


AirAsia’s new Cebu base will officially commence operations on November 15, 2025.  From Cebu, AirAsia Philippines will serve Kuala Lumpur (14x weekly), Davao (18x weekly), Caticlan (11x weekly), Iloilo (4x weekly), and Macao (3x weekly).  With seamless connectivity to beautiful islands like Bohol, Siquijor, and Dumaguete, Cebu is also the perfect base for island-hopping adventures, nature escapes, and heritage experiences that go beyond the typical tourist trail.
