AIRBORNEO - the Sarawak-owned airline, today introduced its “Harvest in Unity” festive campaign, offering a 20 per cent discount on normal fares across all 21 destinations in its Rural Air Services (RAS) network.
The promotion aims to facilitate the “balik kampung” journey for thousands of Sabahans and Sarawakians returning home for the Pesta Kaamatan and Hari Gawai celebrations.
In a statement, the airline's chief executive officer, Megat Ardian Wira, said the campaign reflects its commitment to serving as more than just a carrier, but also as a vital link for family reunions, particularly for those travelling to the interior.
“By making travel to the interior more accessible, the airline aims to ensure that distance is no barrier for those wishing to celebrate the peak of the harvest season with their families and communities in longhouses and villages across Borneo,” he said as reported by Bernama.
The promotion offers a 20 per cent discount on normal fares, with the sales period running from May 1 to May 5, 2026, and the travel period from May 23 to June 7, 2026.
Megat Ardian Wira said the campaign highlighted the spiritual and communal significance of the festive season. “‘Harvest in Unity’ is at the heart of everything we do this season.
We understand that for our passengers, these flights are not just about travel, but about the long-awaited embrace of a parent, the shared meal in a longhouse, and the preservation of our rich cultural heritage,” he said.
He added that the airline remains focused on ensuring operational reliability and consistent service during the peak travel period. “
As we help our community ‘balik kampung’ this year, our priority is on ensuring operational reliability and consistent service for all our guests.
We are dedicated to being the dependable backbone of regional travel, ensuring that our connectivity remains a steady and trusted link for the people of Sabah and Sarawak,” he further said.
He also encouraged travellers to secure their seats early to avoid the festive rush, and bookings can be made via its official website or mobile application, subject to availability, as well as the terms and conditions. – May 1, 2026
