AirAsia launches new Yangon schedule
AirAsia Berhad has introduced 3X-weekly Penang, Malaysia-Yangon, Myanmar services. AirAsia CE Aireen Omar said the new service was the latest move by the carrier to expand operations out of the Penang island facility. She described the new service as “another milestone in our commitment to grow Penang as our northern hub.” The new service is the only flight connecting the two destinations. It will consolidate the LCC’s latest push to move more of its services to second-tier Malaysian hubs such as Kota Kinabalu, Borneo, and Langkawi—both situated (like Penang) on islands off the coast of Malaysia. Earlier this year, the carrier introduced new Kota Kinabalu-Wuhan, China; Langkawi-Guangzhou, China; and Penang-Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam services. The new Yangon service will add to the carrier’s existing services to the Myanmar capital. <br/>
