There are more reasons to fly and visit Bacolod City and the various towns and cities in the province of Negros Occidental as AirAsia, the world’s best low-cost airline, launched its daily flights between Manila and Bacolod. The maiden flight was held during the highlight of the 40th MassKara Festival of the City of Smiles.
AirAsia made its presence felt at the MassKara Festival, particularly at the Electric MassKara, the Street and Arena Dance Competition and the MassKara Queen Pageant and Coronation Night.
The initial flight was also full of fun and festivities as games were held during the flight and a water cannon ceremony followed as the aircraft landed at the Bacolod-Silay International Airport. Flying guests and VIPs were welcomed by Bacolod City Mayor Evelio Leonardia with MassKara dancers and drumbeaters.
AirAsia Philippines CEO Ricardo P Isla remarked, “We are excited to celebrate this milestone and to paint the Negros Island skies red. AirAsia’s presence in the region will make air travel more affordable not just for the Negrenses but for everyone who wants to explore this part of the country.”
AirAsia flies the Manila-Bacolod-Manila route three times daily:
