AirAsia has introduced fixed one-way fares of RM299 for flights from Peninsular Malaysia to Sabah, enabling voters to travel home affordably for the state election on November 29. The initiative covers selected flights operating between November 26 and November 28, with over 3,000 seats available across eight key routes.
Affordable Travel for Civic Duty
The promotional fares apply to flights from Kuala Lumpur to Kota Kinabalu, Sandakan, Tawau, and Labuan; Johor Bahru to Kota Kinabalu and Tawau; as well as Kota Bharu and Penang to Kota Kinabalu. This move aims to ease the financial burden for Sabahans returning to cast their votes.
AirAsia’s Commitment to Malaysians
AirAsia’s CEO, Fareh Mazputra, emphasized the airline’s dedication to supporting Malaysians during significant national events. “As the people’s airline, we have always stood alongside the communities we serve,” he said in a statement today. “Elections are moments that bring communities together to shape the future, and this initiative is our way of making it more affordable for people to return home and take part in the polls.”
Strengthening Connectivity in Sabah
Sabah remains a cornerstone of AirAsia’s domestic operations. Mazputra highlighted the airline’s ongoing efforts to enhance connectivity through affordable fares and programs like festival-fixed fares and FLYsiswa, which provide subsidized travel for students. “This fare initiative underscores our commitment to keeping Sabah well-connected,” he added.
Booking Details
The RM299 promotional flights can be booked from today until October 26 through airasia.com or the AirAsia MOVE app. With limited seats available, voters are encouraged to secure their tickets early to participate in this crucial electoral moment.
