Beginning 1 December 2006,
AirAsia is to launch flights to Mulu, Sarawak. This latest effort by the airline to exert a greater effort in
supporting Visit Malaysia Year 2007 (VMY2007) is using a codeshare
agreement with Fly Asian Xpress (FAX).
Dato’ Tony Fernandes, Group Chief Executive Officer, said, “Mulu Caves accessible via Miri has long posed great tourism potential and
we feel that this is the time to bring this forward and create greater awareness for regional and international visitors as well as
Malaysians.”
“By collaborating with FAX, our guests are able to fly to Miri with our aircraft and reach Mulu with FAX to experience the world’s largest
natural rock chamber.”
This is the first ever code share arrangement concluded by AirAsia and it has chosen FAX as its partner, which is currently the largest
national carrier in East Malaysia serving major and rural cities within the two states.
To
celebrate the launch a special introductory fare starting from RM29.99 one way to
Mulu is being offered. This special fare is available until 24 November 2006 for travel period between 8 January to 8
February 2007. Fare excludes airport taxes and fees, fuel surcharges and is applicable for one way travel only.
