The new route is expected to commence on April 21. It will be operated by Airbus A320neo aircraft four times a week.

This development reinforces AK’s position as Malaysia’s premier budget airline, boasting the largest fleet and the most extensive route network. Travelandtourworld.com states that the airline offers scheduled flights to over 166 locations across 25 nations.

Strategic Route Expansion for AK
