KUALA LUMPUR – Low-cost airline AirAsia Group Bhd will be suspending new Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTL) flight bookings between December 23 and January 20 next year from Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok Don Mueang Airport to Singapore.

It said the suspension followed the temporary and immediate suspension of new flight bookings on designated VTL flights into Singapore, as announced by the Singaporean government.

“AirAsia Malaysia will continue to operate VTL flights seven times a week from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore.

“Guests with existing VTL flight bookings (flight code AK) and an approved Vaccinated Travel Pass may enter Singapore without (undergoing) quarantine, and will just need to take a Covid-19 test on arrival and an RTK-Ag post-arrival,” it said in a statement today.

It said AirAsia Thailand (flight code FD) will cancel its VTL flights from Bangkok Don Mueang to Singapore until further notice. Affected guests will be notified via email and text messages with instructions on how to select any of the service recovery options available to them.

“AirAsia is closely monitoring the global health situation, and reserves the right to announce further policies according to the latest developments.

“We encourage our guests to refer to the travel requirements page on our website prior to their scheduled departure,” it added. – Bernama, December 22, 2021
