AirAsia Resumes Tianjin Flights; Fares from RM249

AirAsia has resumed flights between Kuala Lumpur and Tianjin, following the temporary suspension of its services in November 2009. The service resumes with a five-time weekly service, on a more economical aircraft - the Airbus A330 with two-class configuration of 28 premium seats and 355 economy seats.

The change of aircraft from the previous Airbus A340 with a total of 30 premium and 256 economy seats used before the suspension proves more economical with 34% increase in capacity.

Ms. Kathleen Tan, Regional Head of Commercial of AirAsia Group said, “The Kuala Lumpur - Tianjin route was launched in April 2009, servicing direct flights to Tianjin as part of AirAsia’s strategic expansion plans in North China. With a more economical A330 aircraft, combined with a better flight schedule, AirAsia will now offer its guests convenient ground transport access to connect from Tianjin to the Chinese capital Beijing and its other attractive neighbouring cities. The recommencement of the route is also timely with the upcoming Chinese New Year where guests would be able to reconnect with their families and relatives or even take a short holiday.”

To commemorate the relaunch, AirAsia is offering special online fares from as low as RM249 (all-in-fare) one way until 16 February 2010, for travel between 22 February to 31 May 2010.
