MANILA, Philippines — A new Airbus A320, designed with Airphil Express livery, taxied into the NAIA airport recently from Toulouse, France with the airline’s own pilots in command. The arrival of the aircraft represents another determined step toward meeting the Filipinos’ growing demand for value-oriented air travel service.
The additional aircraft will enable the airline to bring more customers to more destinations in a shorter time at an affordable price. Alfredo Herrera, SVP for Marketing and Sales, says, “We aim to play a dominant role in the industry by bringing more tourists around the country while beefing up our presence in the region.” Airphil Express has mapped out a $250-million expansion plan and is scheduled to purchase two more new A320 units later in the year.
The 180-seater Airbus A320 offers enhanced cabin experience with its wider seats, bigger legroom and elbowroom for added comfort, and generous carry-on baggage space. It is the aircraft of choice for majority of airlines because the A320 is developed for reduced engine wear and fuel consumption that will result in savings for both the company and its passengers.
With seven Airbus A320, three Q300s and five Q400 under its wing, the company is expected to increase operations and create new itineraries. One recently inaugurated Airphil Express route is the Manila-Tacloban leg that ushers vacationers to a myriad other adventure possibilities in the Visayas. The Cebu-Hong Kong flight, which opened in July, presents opportunities for frequent leisure and business trips between the two destinations. Airphil Express is also set to introduce the Manila-Ozamiz and Davao-Iloilo routes in August.
