KUALA LUMPUR: AirAsia is extending its route network to another Southeast Asian country with direct daily flights from here to the city of Yangon in Myanmar, starting from July 20, 2010.
In a statement on Monday, June 14, AirAsia said to celebrate the introduction of the new route, it would will be offering all-in-fares for Kuala Lumpur-Yangon from as low as RM29 (US$10) one way.
Booking starts from June 14 to June 20, 2010, for the travel period of July 20, 2010 until May 8, 2011. AirAsia said its foray into the region's largest country, Myanmar, from its Kuala Lumpur hub completed the 10 countries under the Asean network. It currently flies to Yangon from its Bangkok hub with daily flights.
The new route will be serviced by the Airbus A320 aircraft with a 180-passenger capacity.
"Myanmar will see a big boost in their tourist entries with this new direct daily flight from Kuala Lumpur to Yangon, as our guests from Europe, China, India, Australia and around the Asean region utilising our Kuala Lumpur hub now has a more affordable option to travel to Myanmar," AirAsia regional head of commercial Kathleen Tan said.
"AirAsia's affordable fares will also enable the Burmese workforce in Malaysia to return home and visit their families more often. Avid travelers and backpackers looking for the Asian experience can now add Myanmar to their list, as AirAsia's entry into this market offers greater connectivity options from our Kuala Lumpur hub at a much lower fare."
