AirAsia ramps up flight frequencies for "Balik Kampung'

AirAsia, the world's best low cost airline is increasing its flight frequencies for selected cities throughout the festive season of Hari Raya between 3 September ' 17 September 2010.

Kathleen Tan, Regional Head of Commercial, AirAsia said: "With the additional flights, it will be more convenient for our guests to travel safely and comfortably back to their hometowns and celebrate Hari Raya with their family and loved ones. We hope that by planning and announcing the additional flights earlier, our guests will be able to beat the usual "balik kampung' rush. We have also decided to add frequencies for four Indonesian routes to facilitate the Indonesian workforce in Malaysia to return to their families for Hari Raya. Furthermore, with the Hari Raya break, guests can also take advantage of these additional flights and AirAsia's low fares for a relaxing break from work."

The destinations included for the additional flights are Kuala Terengganu (from 3x daily to 9x daily), Kota Bharu (from 6x daily to 12x daily), Langkawi (from 7x daily to 11x daily), Solo (from once daily to 5x daily), Yogyakarta (from once daily to 3x daily), Medan (from 4x daily to 6x daily) and Surabaya (from 4x daily to 8x daily).
