AirAsia Philippines said it stands in solidarity with the Muslim community during the holy month of Ramadan, offering convenient and inclusive travel experience.
Amid an estimated 15 million Muslims residing in the Philippines, the airline said Filipinos planning to embark on religious pilgrimages such as Hajj and Umrah can conveniently fly across AirAsia’s 136 routes. From Manila, guests may connect to AirAsia’s mega hub in Kuala Lumpur and fly to Jeddah, the principal gateway to Mecca, via non-stop flights lasting approximately nine hours.
AirAsia Philippines Communications and Public Affairs Head, First Officer Steve Dailisan said that Muslim travelers also have the option of subscribing to services provided by Ikhlas, a dedicated platform providing seamless online access to faith-based services, including Umrah and Hajj travel, Shariah-compliant lifestyle choices including Muslim-friendly travel packages and other religious obligations. Ikhlas is accessible via ikhlas.com or by downloading the Ikhlas app.
“As an airline that deeply values diversity and inclusivity, we want to take part in meaningful journeys such as pilgrimage. Our fly-thru option conveniently connects our guests from one AirAsia destination to another without the hassle of collecting baggage at the transit hub. Our Muslim brothers and sisters can also fly with confidence as we offer a variety of Halal-certified in-flight meal options that are thoughtfully aligned with their dietary requirements,” Dailisan said.
As AirAsia continues to champion affordable and accessible air travel, the airline remains dedicated to providing a welcoming and inclusive experience for guests of all backgrounds, especially during meaningful occasions such as Ramadan, he added.
