“There
is so much potential for Langkawi and we know with the resources we are putting
in such as the marketing initiatives, we can expand the market demand for
Langkawi from Shenzhen. AirAsia looks forward to working with all parties,
especially from the tourism industry on both ends to ensure that we optimise on
this new route.”
Langkawi,
being AirAsia’s first route to be operated in 2001, currently serves five
routes with 106 weekly flights. Two of them are international destinations
(Singapore and Guangzhou) while the rest are domestic flights (Kuala Lumpur,
Penang and Johor Bahru).

With
this new initiative, Langkawi is set to attract more tourist arrivals from
China as the island offers sun, sea and sand attractions.
Since its
inaugural flight in 2007, the airline has flown 4.3 million guests in and out
of Shenzhen, bringing in high local and international passenger traffic into
the city.
Celebrating its tenth anniversary flying into Shenzhen, China, AirAsia was now offering 35 weekly flights from Shenzhen to South-East Asia.
