alaysian-based low-cost carrier AirAsia Berhad (AirAsia) will open a new direct service connecting Kuala Lumpur to one of Indonesia’s emerging tourist destinations Lombok in October this year, an executive said.
AirAsia commercial director Jasmine Lee said the airline will provide three flights a week: Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.
“Now everyone in Lombok can fly to Kuala Lumpur to enjoy every inch of the Malaysian capital that is also the hub of the AirAsia Group. And for Malaysians, Lombok is a diamond that offers pristine beauty,” Jasmine said
