Malaysian low cost giant, Air Asia, will increase the flight frequency along its popular Kuala Lumpur (KL) to Chennai route through the addition of four more flights commencing 21 January. AirAsia currently serves this route with a direct daily flight to Chennai departing from the LCC Terminal; Kuala Lumpur on AirAsia’s 180-seater Airbus A320. When the new additions take flight next year the airline will operate a total of 11 flights weekly from Chennai and a total of 114 weekly flights from India. Chennai is a highly popular destination among the extensive hindu community in Malaysia, while more and more Indians are flying to KL before connecting to other destinations. Kathleen Tan, Regional Head of Commercial at AirAsia said; “. In fact within the first few months of flying to Chennai, we have consistently enjoyed strong load factor on this route. We feel that it is timely to add a 2nd frequency and this is certainly a reinforcement of our growing interest in the Indian market.” The four additional dailies will depart KL at 3.55pm on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays, returning from Chennai at 6pm on the same day.
