AirAsia has announced that it will increase its frequency of services between Kuala Lumpur and Chennai route.

AirAsia currently serves this route with a direct daily flight to Chennai departing from the LCC Terminal; Kuala Lumpur on AirAsia’s 180-seater A320. 

To celebrate the introduction of the second Kuala Lumpur -Chennai frequency, AirAsia will offer fares from as low as RM 149 (Rs 2,999) one-way. Booking period for introduction of the second frequency is from November 16 – 21, 2010 for travel period from January 21, 2011 – June 30, 2011. Promotional seats are limited and available on first-come, first-served basis and made exclusively online via www.airasia.com and mobile.airasia.com.

Kathleen Tan, Regional Head Commercial, AirAsia said, “We had always known that the Kuala Lumpur -Chennai route will perform exceedingly well. Meanwhile travellers from Chennai are increasingly using Kuala Lumpur as a connecting gateway to over 130 routes in ASEAN and beyond.  In fact within the first few months of flying to Chennai, we have consistently enjoyed a strong load factor on this route. We feel that it is timely to add a second frequency and this is certainly a reinforcement of our growing interest in the Indian market.”
