During the launch event, Minister of Transport, YB Loke Siew Fook, says that he’s pleased that AirAsia is increasing its flight frequencies during the festive seasons to keep the fares competitive and reasonable. He believes that it is important for the aviation players and the government to work together in making travelling affordable for everyone, and he’s pleased that AirAsia is supporting the government’s initiative.
As this is a busy period, guests are advised to arrive earlier to the airport and to anticipate congestion at security checkpoints and check-in counters. Passengers can check-in online from 14 days prior to the departure of all AirAsia flights.
For those who are departing from Senai International Airport in Johor Bahru, AirAsia encourages you to try their Fast Airport Clearance Experience System (FACES) which allows seamless boarding using facial recognition.
