AirAsia Inc, the Philippine-based affiliate of AirAsia Group, will be basing its operations in the Philippines at Clark International Airport, north of Manila.
The airline plans to start operating international flights to Asian destinations from the airport in the fourth quarter of this year.
The airline, 40 percent owned by AirAsia Bhd, and the rest by three prominent Filipino business people, said the choice of Clark reflected the airline’s commitment to developing transportation and tourism hubs outside Manila.
Malaysia-based AirAsia has been flying to Clark from Kuala Lumpur and Kota Kinabalu since 2005.
