KUCHING: AirAsia will increase its flight frequency between Jakarta and Kuching daily, from the present three times per week, beginning Feb 8.
Presently, AirAsia is operating flights for the route every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
The seats are available for booking now for immediate travel from as low as 689.000 Indonesian Rupiah all-in for flights departing Jakarta and RM149 from Kuching.
“The route operated by AirAsia Indonesia was launching on June 15 last year. Since then, it has been a popular choice amongst travelers from both cities, either for Indonesians to explore the wonders of Kuching’s natural beauty and rich heritage or for Sarawakians to indulge in shopping and culinary experience in Jakart.
“On top of that, the route has been successful in bringing the two regions closer together and opening doors to limitless opportunities for tourism, trade, and mutual growth.
“The increase in flight frequency comes at the right time and marks a significant milestone in the tourism industry recovery for both countries,” AirAsia said in a statement today.
With the added frequency, AirAsia will be able to offer more convenient travel options at affordable fares.
This will enable people to travel between Jakarta and Kuching with ease and affordability be it for leisure or business.
“Connection from Kuching to Jakarta is a precursor to wider connectivity from Sarawak to other parts of Indonesia, especially with the establishment of the country’s new administrative capital Nusantara, in East Kalimantan.
“Bookings can be made conveniently via the airasia Superapp and airasia.com website,” it said.
