KUALA LUMPUR – Budget carrier AirAsia has set a one-way fixed fare for those travelling from the peninsula to Sarawak (RM199) and Sabah (RM249) between January 17 and 30.

The deals are in conjunction with Chinese New Year and was hailed by Transport Minister Anthony Loke as a “very personal initiative” as it was part of his election manifesto.

The RM199 deal applies to those leaving Kuala Lumpur or Johor Baru for Kuching, Bintulu, Miri or Sibu in Sarawak, reported Malay Mail Online.

While the RM249 offer is for those leaving Kuala Lumpur or Johor Baru for Kota Kinabalu or Tawau in Sabah.

“Our fellow Malaysians in the east have no choice but to fly back when necessary, that’s why this initiative is very important,” Loke said at AirAsia’s headquarters near Kuala Lumpur International Airport.

Bookings for AirAsia’s fixed-rate flights to East Malaysia are available from today onwards.

The carrier also encourages its passengers to self-check-in via the AirAsia app as early as 14 days prior to their flight dates. – The Vibes, December 28, 2022
