AirAsia has inaugurated its new direct flight service between Ahmedabad, India's first UNESCO World Heritage City, and Kuala Lumpur, marking a significant expansion in the air connectivity between India and Malaysia. The service began with the departure of flight AK90, which operated with a full capacity on its maiden journey.

This new route will operate four times a week, providing an affordable and convenient travel option for those looking to explore the rich cultural tapestry of Ahmedabad and the dynamic urban environment of Kuala Lumpur. The introduction of this route is part of AirAsia's broader strategy to strengthen its network across the Indian subcontinent, where it now offers 78 weekly flights on 15 different routes.

En. Solehuddin Ahmad, Deputy Director South Asia Unit of Tourism Malaysia, expressed his enthusiasm at the launch. He highlighted the importance of this new connection not only for tourism but also for strengthening bilateral ties between the two countries. Ahmad praised AirAsia's commitment to enhancing regional connectivity, which is expected to increase tourist visits and foster economic growth.

This route is anticipated to be particularly popular among travelers seeking new experiences in both cities, celebrated for their unique cultural offerings and historical significance. The successful launch, celebrated by a ceremony attended by dignitaries and travelers, underscores the robust demand and positive outlook for further expansions in AirAsia's operations within the region.
