AirAsia Philippines will use Airbus A320 aircraft with 180 seats (all in economy class) on the route.

“Japan is one of the strongest regional markets for AirAsia Philippines. In fact, we’ve already flown 210,000 guests for the first half of 2024. We are confident we will double the 270,000 guests flown in 2023,” AirAsia Philippines CEO Ricky Isla said when announcing the route. Nagoya will be the airline’s third destination in Japan following Tokyo Narita (11 weekly flights) and Osaka Kansai (nine weekly flights).
