KUCHING: AirAsia is supporting the Ministry of Transport’s initiative of offering flights at fixed fares for the upcoming Kaamatan and Gawai celebrations between May 27 and 31.
AirAsia Malaysia chief executive officer (CEO), Riad Asmat said those who are celebrating the festivals or planning to return home can fly from Peninsular Malaysia to Sabah at RM352 all-in one-way between May 27 and 29; to Sarawak at RM346 all-in one-way between May 29 and 31.
All flights are inclusive of taxes, relevant fees, fuel surcharge, as well as 20kg baggage allowance indicated as “free baggage” to be selected during booking. The fixed fares are available for booking starting today (May 20) until May 31.
“As the airline that has been consistently ensuring fixed fare availability during the last few festive celebrations, we are pleased to support this initiative once again, through the Ministry of Transport Malaysia,” he said in a statement today.
In addition to supporting this initiative, he said, AirAsia also added additional commercial flights from Kuala Lumpur and Johor Bahru to Sibu to alleviate capacity constraints to both of these destinations for these festive periods.
The airline company’s mid-range affiliate airline, AirAsia X which operates a larger widebody fleet, will also be operating a service from Kuala Lumpur to Kota Kinabalu to ensure extra capacity is available to meet corresponding demand.
“We applaud the government’s initiative to subsidise 5,534 seats from AirAsia and AirAsia X so we can offer it at fixed fares for these upcoming celebrations and as the people’s airline, we will continue to support such initiatives in the future,” he said.
Guests travelling during the Kaamatan and Gawai celebrations period are advised to arrive at the airport at least two hours ahead of their scheduled departure time (for domestic travel) to avoid congestion.
uests are also highly encouraged to self check-in using the airasia Superapp, which is available as early as 14 days before the departure date and use the e-Boarding Pass to board the flight for a more seamless and hassle free travel experience.
Guests who will be departing from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) (Terminal 2) are highly recommended to enrol their details for FACES on the airasia Superapp to pass through pre-security and seamlessly board the flight without having to display their boarding pass.
For a better and enhanced travel experience, download the airasia Superapp from Apple App Store, Google Play Store or Huawei AppGallery now.
