“Leyte holds a special place in the heart of AirAsia. Our partnership stood the test of time, especially during the onslaught of Typhoon Yolanda and the rebuilding efforts that ensued after. And the commitment of ensuring affordable fares for the Eastern Visayas region has never waned. We know how purposeful each journey is for every Leyteno. With the ongoing repair of San Juanico Bridge, our stakeholders can always count on us to consistently provide reasonably low fares, allowing everyone to experience the airline's continued legacy as the global gold standard in low-cost travel.” ~Suresh Bangah, AirAsia Philippines President and CEO

"Leyte is a destination. Not so many people know it, but it is a destination. We have many other destinations aside from kalamgaman, and we want them to be as visible as kalamgaman. And we want to thank AirAsia, sabi ko nga two way ito eh, it is our intent to make ourselves visible to tourist so that there will be an increased flights later by AirAsia. We may not have the ideal tourist destinations that we have right now, but by the time we finish our plans, ang tanong ko parati, which airline we do actually partner with when we're actually ready? And right now, I will tell you that it is only AirAsia, I consider a partner.” ~Jericho Petilla, Leyte Governor

"Hindi namin malilimutan nung panahon ng Yolanda kung paano kami tinulungan ng AirAsia. They were the first airline to offer seats. Imagine, they sent 2 aicraft to help us for humanitatian mission. It allowed us to ferry people out of Tacloban so they can also find work in Manila and feed their families while rebuilding is underway.” ~Anne Petilla, Leyte Tourism Consultant
During the assault of Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan), AirAsia was one of the first commercial airlines to respond to individuals affected by the disaster. It provided free 250,000 seats for victims and their loved ones looking for missing family members. AirAsia Foundation raised about one hundred million pesos, which was utilized to build homes in Tacloban.
