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.”
