Starting March 29, 2020, you can now fly directly from Clark and Cebu to General Santos City to Zamboanga via AirAsia! This is part of the airline’s ever expanding list of domestic routes.

Hailed as the “Tuna Capital of the Philippines,” General Santos City (GenSan) is known to have the largest tuna display in the world. Travelers can enjoy all kinds of activities in the city including historical, agricultural, hill, and of course, tuna tours.

AirAsia Philippines CEO Ricky Isla said, “We are pleased to announce our new domestic destination for the year, General Santos. Our General Santos flights will provide access to Mindanao, a beautiful region rich in culture and history. I am confident that AirAsia’s announcement of these new flights will contribute to local tourism and the economy.”

Flights to General Santos city will run three times weekly for flights to and from Clark while Cebu to GenSan flights will run daily.

Zamboanga, known as “Asia’s Latin City” is brimming with natural resources. It’s also an ideal place to experience nature and culture. Interestingly enough, Zamboanga is also known as the country’s “Sardine Capital” as it supplies the majority of the country’s canned sardines.

Despite being a center of trade and commerce, much of Zamboanga’s treasures are preserved. You can expect a rich cultural heritage, serene landscapes, and unspoiled beaches when you head to this city.

“The launching of the new route is in support of Tourism Secretary Bernadette Romulo Puyat’s push for a livelier tourism within the Philippines and her department’s campaign, ‘It’s More Fun in the Philippines,'” said Isla.
