“This route will not only boost tourism and the economy in the respective regions, but also strengthen the ties between the two countries,” said Riad Asmat, AirAsia Malaysia CEO. “Serving the underserved underpins our brand. As an airline group with extensive connectivity in ASEAN and the Asia Pacific, together with our affiliate, Indonesia AirAsia (QZ), we will continue to connect travellers directly to numerous unique and inadequately serviced cities in Indonesia and Malaysia as well as to the major destinations.

We are also looking forward to flying more travellers to Kuala Lumpur where we can connect them to the rest of ASEAN with our extensive network.”
