AirAsia Malaysia (AK) has unveiled plans to
launch flights between Kuala Lumpur and Kertajati, Indonesia.
Scheduled for take off on 17 May 2023, the two
flights per week will be AirAsia Malaysia’s 12th route in
Indonesia and the only international connectivity out
of Kertajati International Airport (KJT), the second largest
airport in Indonesia.
Kertajati is located in the Majalengka Regency of West
Java province. From Kertajati, travellers can discover the best of Majalengka including the majestic Muara Jaya waterfall,
breathtaking scenery at Terasering Panyaweuyan, turquoise lake at
Situ Cipanten, hillside tea garden at Cipasung Tea Plantation and
more. Kertajati is also a gateway to the highland city of Bandung.
“This route will not only boost tourism and the
economy in the respective regions, but also strengthen the ties
between the two countries,” said Riad Asmat, AirAsia Malaysia CEO. “Serving the underserved underpins our brand. As
an airline group with extensive connectivity in ASEAN and the Asia
Pacific, together with our affiliate, Indonesia AirAsia (QZ), we
will continue to connect travellers directly to numerous unique
and inadequately serviced cities in Indonesia and Malaysia as well
as to the major destinations. Just as we pioneered connectivity into Bandung in
2004, we are excited to bring more people to West Java to
experience the rich culture and natural wonders of this incredible
region. We are also looking forward to flying more travellers to
Kuala Lumpur where we can connect them to the rest of ASEAN with
our extensive network.”
To celebrate the new route, AirAsia is
offering all-in fares from RM149 one way starting until 16
April 2023 for travel between 17 May and 23 October 2023.
AirAsia Malaysia (AK) currently flies to 11 routes
in Indonesia from Kuala Lumpur to Banda Aceh, Jakarta, Bali
(Denpasar), Medan, Padang, Pekanbaru, Makassar, Yogyakarta and
Balikpapan; as well as from Penang to Jakarta and Medan.
