AirAsia continues to strengthen its position as the leading low-cost carrier in Southeast Asia with the announcement of two new direct routes connecting Cebu (CEB) to the vibrant capitals of Bangkok (DMK) and Hanoi (HAN).
Scheduled to take flight in June 2026, these routes mark a significant milestone in regional connectivity, offering travelers more choices and shorter travel times.
By eliminating the need for layovers in Manila, the new direct services are designed to streamline the travel experience for leisure and business travelers alike. This expansion not only opens doors for Cebuanos to explore the world-renowned street food and urban energy of Bangkok or the timeless colonial charm of Hanoi but also serves as a strategic gateway for international tourists to enter the Visayas region.
“Our mission has always been to make travel accessible and seamless,” says an AirAsia spokesperson. “By connecting Cebu directly to Thailand and Vietnam, we are not just selling flights; we are fostering tourism, cultural exchange, and economic growth for all three destinations.”
