AirAsia Philippines, the World’s Best Low-Cost Airline, has partnered with award-winning actor Joel Torre to promote destinations in the Philippines through the ‘Airline of the Stars’ campaign. The airline will bring onboard the world-famous Bacolod Chicken Inasal from JT’s Manukan Grille, known as the 5th Best Chicken Dish in the World.

AirAsia has been recognized for offering the best value for money while maintaining world-class service, serving over 100 million guests since the inception of Santan in 2018, AirAsia’s renowned F&B brand. All AirAsia inflight meals are Halal certified, ensuring that they meet all guests’ dietary requirements while providing the best options. Sharing the same core values – Mura (affordable), Malinis (clean), Masaya (joyful), and Masarap (delicious)—this partnership with JT’s Manukan Grille aims to elevate the inflight experience of AirAsia guests.

“Following our 15th Skytrax win as the World’s Best Low-Cost Airline, AirAsia Philippines is always committed to giving our guests the best value while supporting local entrepreneurs. We have started bringing the spirit of Filipino craftsmanship on board through partnerships with local artisans, offering guests Pinoy-made jewelry and apparel.  This time, we want to elevate their in-flight experience to satisfy our guests gastronomically with JT’s Bacolod Chicken Inasal”, AirAsia CEO Ricky Isla shares.

“We are delighted to partner with AirAsia Philippines as this will give us a chance to showcase our Chicken Inasal to travelers from all over the world,” JT’s Manukan and Grille CEO Joel Torre shares.

Beginning 23 July 2024, guests flying on all AirAsia Philippines flights can pre-book JT’s Bacolod Chicken Inasal via airasia.com and the AirAsia MOVE app. For only PHP 200.00, this meal can be paired with other Pinoy favorite drinks.
