AirAsia Malaysia Celebrates Inaugural Flight from Jaipur to Kuala Lumpur with Full Grandeur

 AirAsia Malaysia celebrated a significant achievement today as it welcomed its inaugural flight from Jaipur to Kuala Lumpur with great pomp and ceremony. The maiden flight, boasting a 100% occupancy rate, took off from Jaipur International Airport at 11.40 PM and touched down at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (Terminal 2) at 7.05 AM local time. Passengers on board flight AK18 were greeted enthusiastically upon arrival by numerous Allstars, who distributed special goodie bags to the delighted travelers. This new route holds special significance for AirAsia Malaysia as it marks the airline’s first foray into Jaipur, famously known as the Pink City, renowned for its ancient forts dating back to the 16th century and the splendid Jal Mahal.

Group CEO of AirAsia Aviation Group, Bo Lingam said: “We’re thrilled  that our first ever services for AirAsia Malaysia between Jaipur and Kuala Lumpur route took  flight today and are honoured to be the only airline in Malaysia to offer this direct connectivity.  Jaipur ‒ often known as the ‘Jewel of Rajasthan’ ‒ is an exquisitely-beautiful city with plenty to offer, as is Kuala Lumpur thanks to our world-famous sky-scrappers and cultural melting pot of local delights.

“AirAsia first commenced flights from between India and Malaysia in 2008 with the sole aim of enabling travellers to experience the beauty and wonder of both countries with ease and affordability.  We have since gone on to fly millions of guests between  India and  Malaysia in the last decade and a half.  The inauguration of this route commemorates AirAsia’s steadfast commitment to further expand our network in India, and we look forward to welcoming more visitors to our homeland Malaysia, particularly following the government’s announcement of visa free entry into the country last year.”
