In Monday’s announcement, AirAsia Malaysia’s CEO, Riad Asmat, said,


“Indonesia is a core market for AirAsia and we are thrilled to be back, launching four new routes such as these with additional eight weekly flights, on top of six existing routes delivering a total of 66 flights weekly to Indonesia airports this month. We are also very thankful for the strong support from the Government of the Republic of Indonesia and the provincial governments of Aceh, West Sumatra and Riau for their assistance in the reopening of these routes and more.


“As an airline group with extensive connectivity in Asean and the Asia Pacific, together with our affiliate, Indonesia AirAsia, we are thrilled to continue playing our role in bringing foreign tourists directly to various popular and underserved cities in Indonesia and Malaysia.


“We are excited to reconnect these cities to Kuala Lumpur and Penang, bringing tourists from Malaysia, reconnecting families, and serving business travel. We are confident that these new services will be popular both ways, and will provide numerous spin off effects to the local communities through the multiplier effect of tourism spending as well as increasing employment opportunities.”
