AirAsia to commence direct flight to Guangzhou from Langkawi early next year

KUALA LUMPUR: AirAsia expects to commence its new direct flight to Guangzhou, China from Langkawi on Jan 24 with four weekly flights.

In a statement today, AirAsia said this direct flight to Guangzhou was its third route into China launched this year, after Changsha from Kuala Lumpur and Wuhan from Kota Kinabalu.

This new route would be offering all-in-fares from as low as RM88 one way from Nov 23-30, 2015 for the travel period of Jan 24 to April 29, 2016, it said.

"Following the announcement of making Langkawi our next international hub back in March this year, we are very happy to finally realise our promise with this new direct route to Guangzhou, China from Langkawi," said AirAsia Bhd Chief Executive Officer, Aireen Omar.

She said AirAsia has full confidence that this new direct route would boost traffic growth into Langkawi International Airport which currently only served one international route to Singapore.

AirAsia currently operates flights from Langkawi to Kuala Lumpur, Penang and Singapore.
