New national routes
To boost the reactivation of national tourism, AirAsia has also expanded its national network with 8 new routes. This includes Langkawi – Ipoh, Langkawi – Kota Bharu, Johor Bahru – Bintulu, Johor Bahru – Kota Bharu, Penang – Sibu, Penang – Kota Bharu, and Kuching – Langkawi. The new routes will operate 3 times a week.
Below is the full flight schedule for the new routes, including the start date.
AirAsia Malaysia Chief Executive Officer Riad Asmat said: “The tourism industry is a major contributor to the Malaysian economy and offers extensive job opportunities. We appreciate MOTAC’s support in incentivizing Malaysian travelers with stimulus packages and we look forward to joining all industry stakeholders in overcoming the effects of the pandemic together. We also applaud the government’s effort to start the national green zone travel bubbles that allow Malaysians to travel comfortably. “
He added: “We are confident that the recovery is underway and, as one of the key players in tourism, AirAsia is well prepared to meet pent-up travel demand. We are expanding our home network with new direct accessibility between cities. As well as allowing Malaysians to travel comfortably once travel restrictions are lifted, we also hope to provide more opportunities for local businesses to prosper by facilitating logistics and freight shipments. “
Please note that interstate travel is only allowed in areas categorized under the “green travel bubble” policy. The national security council had previously announced that travelers can move between green areas without permission from the police.
