AirAsia, the world's best low-cost airline today launched its inaugural flight from Kuching to Langkawi. The new route will operate with 4 times weekly flights on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.

Spencer Lee, AirAsia Head of Commercial said, "We are committed to continue growing this hub as Sarawak has a lot to offer beyond a tourism destination. Increasing connectivity into Sarawak is important for us as it is also one of the top preferred investment destinations in Malaysia with Sarawak Corridor of Renewable Energy (SCORE) attracting investors to set up manufacturing plants on ICT, agriculture, industrial and many more."

"Last year, we have flown about 3.2 million guests in and out of our Kuching hub and we believe the introduction of the two new routes to and from Kuching namely Pontianak recently and Langkawi today, echoes our commitment in Sarawak. We would also like to thank the state government for their continuous support and guidance and we look forward to strengthen this hub with further connectivity in the future."
