JAKARTA – WEBWIRE – Friday, January 19, 2024
AirAsia will be increasing its flight frequency between Jakarta and Kuching, Sarawak to daily, from three times per week currently, beginning 8 February 2024.
The seats are available for booking now for immediate travel from as low as Rp689.000 all-in for flights departing Jakarta and RM149 from Kuching. Bookings can be made conveniently via the airasia Superapp and airasia.com website.
The route, operated by AirAsia Indonesia, was launched on 15 June 2023. Since then, it has been a popular choice amongst travellers from both cities, either for Indonesians to explore the wonders of Kuchings natural beauty and rich heritage, or for Sarawakians to indulge in shopping and culinary experience in Jakarta.
On top of that, the route has been successful in bringing the two regions closer together and opening doors to limitless opportunities for tourism, trade, and mutual growth. The increase in flight frequency comes at the right time and marks a significant milestone in the tourism industry recovery for both countries.
With the added frequency, AirAsia will be able to offer more convenient travel options at affordable fares, enabling people to travel between Jakarta and Kuching with ease and affordability, be it for leisure or business.
Connection from Kuching to Jakarta is a precursor to wider connectivity from Sarawak to other parts of Indonesia, especially with the establishment of the countrys new administrative capital Nusantara, in East Kalimantan.
