AirAsia resumes Kuala Lumpur – Solo route

November 21, 2012 By Budget Airline News

AirAsia will resumes flights from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to Solo, Indonesia with effect from December 21, 2012.  The route was temporarily suspended earlier this year.

AirAsia will offer 3 round-trip flights per week on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. One-way fares start from 99 MYR ($33 USD).

“Indonesia is a very important market and offers a chance for AirAsia to develop. The closure of the Kuala Lumpur–Solo [Surakarta] route in the beginning of this year was part of the process to improve [AirAsia’s] business model in Indonesia so we can improve our services and facilities,” said AirAsia Berhad CEO Aireen Omar in a quote to tribunnews.com.

Malaysia to get new budget airline called Malindo

September 12, 2012 By Budget Airline News

On Tuesday, September 11, 2012, Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak announced the formation of a new low-cost airline called Malindo Airways. The airline is a joint venture between Malaysia’s National Aerospace and Defence Industries and Indonesia’s Lion Air Group.

The airline will be based at the up-coming KLIA 2 terminal outside Kuala Lumpur and is expected to begin operations on May 1, 2013. The airline will initially fly routes between Malaysia and Indonesia, later expanding to destinations across Asia.

Malindo Airways will operate a fleet of Boeing 737-900ER aircraft in a two-class configuration. There will be 12 business class seats and 168 economy class seats. All customers will enjoy a personal entertainment system, in-flight WiFi, and a light meal.

The airline’s name is a fusion of the names of the two supporting countries – Malaysia and Indonesia.

Ticket prices are expected to be on par with or even lower than AirAsia, Malaysia’s current leading budget airline.
