With this addition, the largest and leading low-cost carrier in Asia will now have a total of seven daily direct flights from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore commencing Dec 1.

To celebrate this new frequency, AirAsia is offering free seats and waiving the fuel surcharges (terms apply), so guests will have to bear the taxes and administration fee only.

The offer is available exclusively online at AirAsia’s website www.airasia.com for the travel period from Dec 1 till July 31.

"We have been steadily building up our presence in the ‘Lion City’, having only recently announced four additional frequencies from Kuala Lumpur and new daily flights from Kota Kinabalu and Kuching to Singapore in October alone," said AirAsia commercial regional head Kathleen Tan.

"There are robust demands between the two major cities and tourist gateways in the region. Since its inception last February, we have recorded over 90% passenger load.

"We are confident that this additional flight will do just as well. We have over 108 routes and 60 destinations – the most extensive network compared with other budget carriers in the region.

"Our guests could benefit from our vast network to travel to other regional Asean cities or connect the long-haul sectors serviced by AirAsia X to Gold Coast, Perth, and Melbourne in Australia or to Hangzhou, China," she added.

In total, the AirAsia group will have 101 flights weekly to Singapore from various points in the region.

It includes 49 flights weekly from Kuala Lumpur, seven flights weekly from Kota Kinabalu, seven flights weekly from Kuching, seven flights weekly from Phuket, 28 flights weekly from Bangkok and three flights weekly from Pekanbaru, Indonesia.
