Bad news, guys! 

If you’ve been planning a getaway to Kalibo (Boracay) in the Philippines, Surat Thani in Thailand, or Tehran in Iran later this year using AirAsia, you might want to adjust your budget because flights to these specific destinations will likely be suspended until further notice. Nooooo!!!

Popular travel and food blog, Places and Foods, also posted screenshots of e-mails from the airline informing travellers that flights from KL to Kalibo (Boracay) will be suspended from 26th March 2018 onwards. Although no official announcement on the matter has been made yet, e-mails and checks on AirAsia’s website appear to confirm this.
