AirAsia offers 20% seat discount to CPAs

Low-cost carrier AirAsia Philippines on Friday announced it is offering a special promotion discount to certified public accountants (CPAs).

The promo fare discount is in appreciation of the role of accountants in the Philippine economy, AirAsia Philippines said.

“Accountants may not usually occupy the frontlines in the fight against the pandemic, but they play a critical role in supporting and pushing for their companies’ survival,” the airline said.

“Working with the values of stewardship, collaboration, and good governance, CPAs and Finance Professionals are working relentlessly in ensuring companies are able to manage and recover from the impact of the pandemic,” it added.

The budget airline is offering CPAs special promotion discount of 20% on all seats from March 22 to April 11, 2021.

Tickets are available for booking on website and mobile during the said period for travel from 13 April 13 to September 30, 2021, “with no excluded peak dates.”

“We would like to express our deepest gratitude to the selfless service and dedication of our CPAs in the country. In a challenging time like this, when businesses are struggling to keep afloat, finance professionals too are seen as essential workers,” AirAsia Philippines chief finance officer Ray Berja said.

“As we launch and celebrate the two years to the centenary of the Philippines Accountancy profession, AirAsia wishes to honor members of Philippine Institute of CPAs (PICPA) and Association of CPAs in Commerce and Industry (ACPACI) by offering them an exclusive promo,” Berja said.

AirAsia said CPAs may enjoy one way fares for as low as P1,563, all in.

The airline said interested CPAs may get in touch with Philippine Institute of CPAs (PICPA) and Association of Certified Public Accountants in Commerce and Industry (ACPACI) Secretariat to avail of the promo code.

AirAsia said travelers can expect enhanced safety measures throughout the entire journey, including pre-flight, in-flight, and during the arrival process.

It also advised guests to check and comply with measures implemented by local airport authorities for a smooth travel experience. — Ted Cordero/RSJ, GMA News
