By adding this route ahead of the holidays, we are not only strengthening inter-island connectivity but also creating more opportunities for every Juan to discover the best of the Philippines,” said Xander Lao, CEB President and Chief Commercial Officer.

“The introduction of our Delhi-Manila route is a yet another step in our mission to connect India with more of the world, non-stop. As outbound travel from India grows at an unprecedented pace, with Indian tourists ranking among the highest spenders globally, the new entry rules for Indian tourists are a shot in the arm to boost tourism to the Philippines. We are happy to facilitate new opportunities for cultural exchange and economic collaboration between the two nations, while bringing the new Air India to more travellers around the world.” Campbell Wilson, Chief Executive Officer & Managing Director, of Air India said,
Data from the tourism department of the Philippines disclosed that the number of Indian nationals who visited the archipelago in 2024 grew 12.4 per cent year-on-year to almost 79,000. The number was around 53 per cent higher than 2022 levels.
