AirAsia Malaysia (AK) has unveiled plans to launch
flights between Penang, Malaysia and Bali, Indonesia.
Scheduled to commence on 20 October, the twice-weekly flight will add to AirAsia Malaysia’s
already considerable frequency into Penang with 156 flights weekly,
making Penang AirAsia’s second biggest hub in Malaysia after Kuala Lumpur
with the most international flight frequencies.
YB
Yeoh Soon Hin, Penang State EXCO for Tourism and Creative Economy,
said, “We are thrilled that AirAsia is launching a new
international direct route connecting the region closer to Penang.
As this is the first ever direct route from Bali to Penang, we
look forward to leveraging this opportunity to introduce Penang
not only to the people in Bali but also to the regional tourists
visiting Bali wanting to discover the “7 World Wonders of Penang” which was announced recently. We believe this will be another key
international route to Penang and we applaud AirAsia’s continued
effort to make Penang a destination of choice for many regional
travellers.”
To celebrate the route launch, AirAsia is offering
fares between Bali and Penang from RM159 all-in one way until 16
October 2022 for travel between 20 October 2022 and 25 March 2023.
“This is an exciting time to travel and not only
will this new direct route offer a seamless journey for our
guests, but it will also boost regional inbound tourism and
support the local economy in both countries. This is what we do
best - empowering local people and community well-being by
stimulating air travel and driving tourism,” said Riad Asmat, CEO
of AirAsia Malaysia. “Penang plays an important role in
our growth and as a key player with the biggest market share of
50% as a group, we will continue to expand our services into the
state in the future. Moreover, with 92 city pairings via our
Fly-Thru service to Penang, we look forward to flying more
travellers to the Pearl of the Orient in the future.”
