KUALA LUMPUR: AirAsia is expanding its domestic connectivity across Malaysia with the addition of 2,000 weekly flights and 150,000 seats across 40 key routes by the end of the year.

As a result of this expansion, the low-cost carrier said AirAsia’s market share is expected to increase to 64 per cent, reinforcing its leading position in the Malaysian aviation sector.

“Timed to meet the growing demand for year-end travel, this expansion will provide more flight options and flexibility for local and regional guests, connecting them to diverse and vibrant destinations across Malaysia,” it said in a statement today.

As the carrier expands domestic operations with 1.7 million seats available for booking by year-end, AirAsia Malaysia managing director Datuk Captain Fareh Mazputra said the carrier is also opening doors for regional travellers to explore and experience Malaysia’s unique destinations, cultures and cuisines.

“Our growth and market leadership are not just about flying more routes but about playing a pivotal role in supporting the national economy and enhancing connectivity. However, these efforts cannot be done by AirAsia alone,” he said.

Therefore, Fareh said AirAsia calls on all stakeholders, including the government, airports, tourism bodies and other industry players, to join forces collectively to make travel more accessible and affordable for everyone, especially Malaysians.

In line with its ongoing efforts to enhance the customer experience, AirAsia said it has introduced AirAsia Plus, offering added value to passengers flying to and from Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport.

“The AirAsia Plus fare includes 7.0 kilogramme (kg) cabin baggage, 20.0 kg checked baggage, seat selection, inflight meal or snack as well as baggage and on-time guarantee (OTG) insurance,” it added.
