KUCHING, Dec 8: Public university students can start redeeming the RM300 FlySiswa voucher with AirAsia for their travels back to their hometowns next year.
In a media release today, AirAsia reaffirmed commitment to supporting the FlySiswa programme next year, an initiative driven by the Ministry of Transport (MOT) Malaysia to provide an opportunity for students to fly back to their hometowns affordably.
AirAsia’s e-voucher for the FLYsiswa programme applies for flight bookings across 45 routes in 10 destinations between Peninsula Malaysia from Kuala Lumpur, Johor Bahru, Kota Bharu, and East Malaysia to Kota Kinabalu, Sandakan, Kuching, Bintulu, Miri, Sibu, and Labuan. It is also applicable for flights between Sabah, Sarawak and Labuan.
This initiative not only demonstrates the airline’s commitment to ensuring affordability with great value fares and accessibility with a vast network but also enables students to benefit from its ecosystem. This includes AirAsia rewards points, inflight offerings, and more.
AirAsia Malaysia chief executive officer (CEO) Riad Asmat stated that the airline is set to reactivate more aircraft in the coming months.
“This will allow us to increase frequencies and offer lower fares, ultimately benefiting the students the most. We look forward to flying more students to their hometowns with great value fares next year,” he said in the statement.
Riad added that the FlySiswa programme is expected to benefit about 50,069 eligible students enrolled in public universities across the country.
“This year, we received over 23,000 submissions from verified students which is about 66 per cent of the 35,994 students who submitted their applications, and we are pleased that AirAsia continues to be the top airline choice,” he said.
The eligibility criteria of the FLYsiswa programme are set by the MOT. The programme is open to students pursuing tertiary education at a public university in Malaysia.
Eligibility includes students from Sabah, Sarawak, or the Federal Territory of Labuan, studying in Peninsular Malaysia; students from Peninsular Malaysia, studying in Sabah, Sarawak, or the Federal Territory of Labuan; and students from Sabah, Sarawak, or the Federal Territory of Labuan studying in each other’s regions.
