It could be booked on airasia.com or the AirAsia mobile app from today until Aug 25, 2019, for travel between Oct 2, 2019, and March 28, 2020, the airline said in a statement today.

AirAsia regional commercial head Amanda Woo said the new route is also a testament to the airline’s commitment to support the Indonesian government in its efforts to develop 10 new priority tourism destinations.
