AirAsia Philippines Wins Gold at NEXT Awards Asia-Pacific 2025 for Gen Z–Driven “LFG!” Campaign

AirAsia Philippines won the Gold Award for Most Innovative Video Marketing Campaign at the NEXT Awards Asia-Pacific 2025, recognizing its daring, Gen Z-centered "Let's Fly and Go!  The "(LFG!)" ad reinvented how airlines connect younger travelers.

The prize was presented at a gala night hosted at Shangri-La The Fort in Manila, which brought together 79 major organizations from across Asia-Pacific.

The NEXT Awards Asia-Pacific are part of MARKETECH APAC's flagship What's NEXT in Marketing series, which recognizes outstanding campaigns for their innovation, efficacy, and regional impact.  This year's winners covered a wide range of markets, including Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Taiwan, Australia, Myanmar, Hong Kong, and the Philippines.

“Truly grateful to be recognized at the NEXT Awards 2025 by MARKETECH APAC. Winning Gold for Most Innovative Video Marketing Campaign means so much to our team, and we’re inspired to keep pushing boundaries. With LFG!, we didn’t just sell flights, we captured the excitement of travel itself, inspiring the next generation to explore, discover, and create memories with AirAsia.” ~Gian Directo, Head of Commercial

AirAsia Philippines received accolades for its 2024 LFG campaign, a multi-platform video venture that challenged traditional airline marketing.  The advertisement captured the thrill of unplanned travel—the exhilaration of clicking "book now," last-minute escapades, and companions saying, "Let's go!"—creating a story that strongly engaged with Gen Z. Its new storytelling and dynamic execution positioned AirAsia as the first local airline to launch a video-driven brand push of this magnitude and style.

Office launch coincides with Mid-year sale from as low as PhP77 one-way base fare

AirAsia Philippines celebrated a big milestone by officially unveiling its new headquarters in Pasay.

The new headquarters, dubbed “The Red Horizon,” will house approximately 1,500 Filipino Allstars, confirming the airline's long-term commitment to democratizing air travel by providing value-driven air transport in the Philippine market.

Senator Erwin Tulfo, one of the top performers in the recently concluded 2025 midterm elections, attended the opening, along with airport and aviation officials such as Office for Transportation Security Undersecretary Arthur Bisnar, Manila International Airport Authority General Manager Eric Ines, and Civil Aeronautics Board Executive Director Carmelo Arcilla.

Capital A CEO Tony Fernandes together with Deputy Group CEO for Airline Operations Capt. Chester Voo of the AirAsia Aviation Group, AirAsia Philippines President and CEO Suresh Bangah and the Philippine leadership team led the warm welcome among guests in the new office.

"I think the resilience of Philippine AirAsia is something to marvel at. I'm someone who never gives up. I will fight to the end. But it's tough fighting alone. And so it was amazing to see the energy. I will still remember coming to the old office and the greeting I got. The energy of this company is unbelievable. It is true, there is no AirAsia company like this. The great thing about this airline, we've gone from two planes to 255. We've been through COVID. We started with 200,000 passengers, and this year we're carrying 90 million. We're just short of carrying 1 billion people since we started this airline 23 years ago. But we're all the same. We're exactly the same. Everyone has maintained their humility, maintained their hard work, and most important about AirAsia is our passion to be the best.” ~Tony Fernandes, Capital A CEO

In his message, Senator Tulfo lauded AirAsia’s efforts in ensuring safe journeys among the Filipino people.

“From its humble beginnings, AirAsia has become a pioneer in budget air travel—not just connecting destinations, but connecting dreams, families, businesses, and cultures. It brought the skies closer to millions of Filipinos and travelers around Asia by making flying affordable, accessible, and enjoyable. As a public servant, I deeply value how AirAsia plays a role in economic development, tourism, job creation, and nation-building. Your growth is the country’s gain. And rest assured, we will continue to support an environment where enterprises like AirAsia can soar even higher.” ~Senator Erwin Tulfo

The new facility is a Filipino-inspired space that embodies modern principles such as inclusivity, collaboration, and national pride.  Its main function rooms are titled The Philippines, Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, representing unity and regional participation.

The headquarters also include specialized prayer rooms to promote spiritual inclusivity, a fully equipped gym to promote health and wellbeing, and People First Stop, a designated location that embodies our dedication to putting people first.  It acts as a hub for support, connection, and care, as well as a safe space for mental health pep talks for individuals who need to take a break.

In 2024, AirAsia Philippines blocked 51 accounts related with scam occurrences, indicating improved fraud detection methods.

AirAsia Philippines encourages travelers to comply with the new cabin regulation regarding power bank use

AirAsia Philippines is reinforcing its commitment to worldwide aviation safety standards by strictly enforcing new recommendations issued by the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) regarding the use of portable electronic devices, notably power banks. 

According to CAAP's recommendation, the usage of power banks during flights is strictly prohibited due to safety issues with lithium-ion batteries.

AirAsia Philippines' new policy still permits for the transport of no more than two (2) power banks, each of which cannot exceed 100 watt-hours (Wh). 

Power banks should not be stowed in overhead compartments, but rather with guests' personal goods under the seat or in the seat pocket in front.  The use of a power bank in flight is not permitted.

"While we understand that power banks are now part of travel essentials for our guests, safety always comes first at AirAsia. We highly encourage our guests to charge their electronic devices prior to boarding and ensure maximum compliance that is enforced by our highly trained on ground and inflight crew.” ~Steve Dailisan, AirAsia Philippines Communications and Public Affairs Head, First Officer

AirAsia Philippines will remind passengers of this policy before to boarding.  Passengers detected utilizing power banks onboard will be warned, and if noncompliance continues, the equipment will be confiscated and returned upon landing.

For flights bound for South Korea, additional regulations apply. Guests are likewise advised to visit airasia.com or AskBo through the AirAsia MOVE App.

AirAsia Aviation confirms 14 new aircraft deliveries for 2025, citing strong market demand

The next phase of growth is secured, with 56 future aircraft fully financed, cementing AirAsia's return to pre-COVID growth and leadership as the world's best low-cost airline.

AirAsia Aviation Group ("AirAsia" or "the Group") is stepping up its aggressive expansion strategy with the announcement of 14 new aircraft deliveries in 2025, four directly from Airbus and ten through lessors.  This strategic fleet expansion is expected to support rising travel demand in Asean and beyond, bolstering AirAsia's position as the leading low-cost carrier.

According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), Asia Pacific passenger numbers will grow by 7.9% in 2025, the fastest rate in the world, owing to economic recovery, competitive fares, and government-led tourism campaigns.  Reflecting this momentum, AirAsia's internal guidance calls for 70 million passengers in FY2025, an 11% increase over last year.  To accomplish this, the Group is increasing capacity, improving connectivity, and optimizing its network for maximum efficiency.  With a strong emphasis on operational excellence and cost leadership, AirAsia's immediate priorities are to increase domestic market share and improve Fly-Thru connectivity across all operating markets, while in the medium term, it will consider expanding into key global destinations to bring new destinations to guests.

AirAsia's Asean market leadership positions the airline as a vital link to major international markets, providing seamless access to destinations in Asia-Pacific, Central Asia, the Middle East, and beyond.  The airline's extensive short-haul network, which is anchored by mega hubs in Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok, as well as hubs in Indonesia, the Philippines, and Cambodia, improves regional connectivity and serves as a springboard for long-haul expansion.

“We’ve had a great start to 2025, and we are excited as AirAsia’s future growth is fully secured, with the next 56 aircraft already financed. This gives us an unmatched runway for expansion, allowing us to scale with absolute certainty whilst delivering the most affordable and reliable travel experience. This is more than about expanding our fleet— it’s about putting more flights where our guests need them most, opening up new destinations, and making travel even more seamless and affordable. Every aircraft we deploy is a step toward giving our guests more choices, better connections, and the best value in the skies. We are accelerating towards pre-pandemic growth rates faster than anticipated, and this expansion is a testament to our confidence in the market’s strength. Demand is up, load factors and yields remain strong, and we are laser-focused on route optimisations with a disciplined focus on cost efficiency. This positions AirAsia steadily to seize future growth opportunities and with the latest aircraft technology, we are future-proofing our operations for the next decade, setting the foundation for long-term, sustainable growth.” ~Bo Lingam, Group CEO of AirAsia Aviation Group

With the upcoming aviation corporate exercise, AirAsia plans to consolidate its network by combining the efficiency of its short haul routes with the reach of its long haul operations.   Furthermore, the Airbus A321XLR and A321LR will revolutionize low-cost regional and long-haul connectivity, while the Airbus A330 fleet will be optimized for long-haul routes to support AirAsia's expansion into new intercontinental markets.  This strategically planned fleet expansion will enable the airline to cut costs while increasing fuel efficiency, ensuring a long-term and cost-effective growth model.

As one of the world's fastest-recovering airlines, AirAsia is on track to match or exceed its pre-pandemic growth rate.  The confirmed aircraft deliveries will support high-demand routes, enable new market entries, and increase overall operational capacity, reinforcing AirAsia's position as the region's leading low-cost carrier.  With strong market demand and a commitment to affordability, AirAsia continues to shape the future of low-cost travel while solidifying its position as a global aviation powerhouse.
