KUALA LUMPUR: AirAsia Bhd will operate additional flights from here to both Kota Baharu and Terengganu from May 3-6 to cater to the high demand of travellers for the 13th general election (GE13) weekend.

In a statement Wednesday, the low-cost airline said there will be seven additional flights from KL-Kota Baharu while KL-Terengganu route will see six additional flights.

“The all-in-fares for these additional flights are from RM84 one way and already available for online booking at www.airasia.com from today until April 26, as well as via AirAsia’s mobile booking platforms through WAP-enabled phones at mobile.airasia.com and AirAsia apps on iPhone and Android devices,” it said.

AirAsia chief executive officer, Aireen Omar, said the company launched its ‘Fly Home to Vote’ campaign last week and received overwhelming response, with almost its entire inventory for the GE13 weekend almost snapped up.

“Therefore, we decided to offer additional flights on top of our existing frequencies to these destinations to ensure that Malaysians are able to carry out their responsibilities,” she said.– BERNAMA
