The Voice of Chandigarh :
The inaugural flight, with a load factor of 100%, departed from Jaipur International Airport at 11.40PM and landed in Kuala Lumpur International Airport (Terminal 2) at 7.05AM local time. Excited guests onboard flight AK18 were warmly greeted upon arrival by several Allstars who handed out exclusive goodie bags to the delighted travellers.
This route is extra special for AirAsia Malaysia ‒ marking its first venture into the stunning Pink City, world-renowned for its vintage forts dating back to the 16th century as well as the majestic Jal Mahal.
Group CEO of AirAsia Aviation Group, Bo Lingam said: “We’re thrilled that our first ever services for AirAsia Malaysia between Jaipur and Kuala Lumpur route took flight today and are honoured to be the only airline in Malaysia to offer this direct connectivity. Jaipur ‒ often known as the ‘Jewel of Rajasthan’ ‒ is an exquisitely-beautiful city with plenty to offer, as is Kuala Lumpur thanks to our world-famous sky-scrappers and cultural melting pot of local delights.
“AirAsia first commenced flights from between India and Malaysia in 2008 with the sole aim of enabling travellers to experience the beauty and wonder of both countries with ease and affordability. We have since gone on to fly millions of guests between India and Malaysia in the last decade and a half. The inauguration of this route commemorates AirAsia’s steadfast commitment to further expand our network in India, and we look forward to welcoming more visitors to our homeland Malaysia, particularly following the government’s announcement of visa free entry into the country last year.”
