Due to the robust demand, AirAsia is increasing its flight frequency between Kuala Lumpur and Guilin, China to daily direct flights from 01-May-09. Initially, AirAsia had launched its Guilin route in Jul-08 with four direct weekly flights between Kuala Lumpur’s Low Cost Carrier Terminal and Liangjiang Airport in Guilin.
It is noteworthy to highlight that AirAsia is the first and only airline from Malaysia to offer direct service between the two cities.
AirAsia Regional Head of Commercial, Ms. Kathleen Tan said, “We are proud of the development of this first direct flight to Guilin as guests can now benefit from our wide connectivity and frequency to travel conveniently, with low fares! Since its launch in July 2008, AirAsia’s Guilin route has received tremendous response and carried over 51,000 guests. As of now the route has recorded an average load of 75%. The increased frequency will not only complement AirAsia’s aggressive growth in China, but is also stimulating tourism by feeding more traffic to both countries.”
“We will continue to work closely with the Guilin Tourism Board and Liangjiang Airport to drive tourist traffics, with a particular focus on utilizing our international route network through AirAsia X to connect traffic from Europe and Australia.”
On top of that, AirAsia is also offering a promotion fare from as low as RM69 one way, in conjunction with the announcement of its increased frequency. Guests may book online at AirAsia’s website from 19 – 29-Mar-09 to enjoy the promotion fare for travel period beginning 01-May-09 to 31-Jan-2010.
