AirAsia Philippines is welcoming the holiday season with new meals in its in-flight menu. AirAsia Santan, the official in-flight food brand of the airline, now features another international meal in its roster – Thai Basil Chicken with Rice. The Q4 2022 menu of AirAsia also includes vegan-friendly snacks from Oh So Healthy! Crisps and Cravewell Crisps.
An industry study commissioned by AirAsia Philippines showed that in-flight meals follow baggage allowance as the top flight add-on purchased by Filipino travelers in the new normal. The same group ranked rice meals third in their list of preferred food to consume in-flight, followed by sweets like biscuits.
AirAsia Philippines Chief Executive Officer Ricky Isla shares:
“As an Asean brand, we promise and deliver to our guests a world-class experience across all facets of the flight – and this includes culinary satisfaction. AirAsia Santan takes pride in its multinational flavors from countries like Singapore, Malaysia, and the Philippines; and now we bring Thailand representation with the Thai Basil Chicken Rice. Our vegan guests need also not worry for we have added vegan snacks in-flight to ensure they also have good food to munch on as they fly to their destination. We are happy to introduce these new meals as we cater to very high demand this holiday season.”
AirAsia Philippines is adding sweets to its offerings as well, including an AirAsia-exclusive cookie set from homegrown dessert shop Le Sucre Lab. The world’s best low-cost airline has also recently teamed up with impact organization HOPE in a Bottle, allowing AirAsia to carry the HOPE purified drinking water on its in-flight menu. 100% of the profit from the in-flight sales will go to the organization’s key projects in public school infrastructure.
To enjoy greater savings, guests of AirAsia are encouraged to purchase their add-ons such as in-flight meals, baggage allowance, and insurance before checking out on the airasia Super App. The integrated travel and lifestyle platform offers exclusive promos across various products and services.
