This year, Skytrax once again awarded AirAsia as the World’s Best Low-cost Airline Carrier for 11 consecutive years. Over dinner, Sheila Romero shared how 2019 is their banner year. She explained AirAsia Philippines grew revenues by 39% compared to last year. They have achieved a remarkable feat as a carrier providing quality service and excellence. Sheila was proud to announce the company would have served 10 million passengers by the end of the year, a record high for them. This continuous growth is their driving force to work and promise more flight frequencies and thrilling destinations like Honolulu. “Our aim is to provide affordable fares for all Filipinos so everyone can fly,” Sheila says.
