SEPANG, Aug 22 (Bernama) — AirAsia plans to further increase its air travel capacity to Singapore, according to AirAsia Malaysia managing director, Datuk Captain Fareh Mazputra Fairuz.
He said the Kuala Lumpur-Singapore route, the world’s busiest, is crucial for boosting tourism. This partnership offers a prime opportunity to leverage AirAsia’s extensive flight network to strengthen ties between the neighbouring countries.
Currently, AirAsia operates 286 flights weekly in and out of Singapore from Malaysia alone.
“We want to expand the routes in and out of Singapore. At the moment, we are serving 10 destinations, but we aim to improve this through better collaboration with the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) and Changi Airport Group,” he told the media after the launch of the ‘Love, Singapore’ aircraft livery on Thursday.
In collaboration with the STB, Gardens by the Bay, and Mandai Wildlife Group, AirAsia unveiled the ‘Love, Singapore’ aircraft livery as part of a joint campaign to promote inbound travel to Singapore from Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia, capitalising on the year-end travel peak in the region.
This Airbus A320 aircraft livery features a special design showcasing Singapore’s iconic attractions, including Gardens by the Bay and Mandai Wildlife Group’s wildlife parks, such as Singapore Zoo and Bird Paradise, alongside Merli, Singapore’s energetic and outgoing brand character inspired by the Merlion.
