KUCHING, May 19: AirAsia is supporting the Ministry of Transport’s initiative of offering flights at fixed fares for the upcoming Kaamatan and Gawai celebrations between May 27 and 31.

Fly from Peninsular Malaysia to Sabah at RM352 all-in one-way between May 27 and 29 and to Sarawak at RM346 all-in one-way between May 29 and 31.

All flights include taxes, relevant fees, fuel surcharge, and a 20kg baggage allowance indicated as ‘free baggage’ to be selected during booking. The fixed fares are available for booking starting May 20 till 31.


AirAsia Malaysia chief executive officer (CEO) Riad Asmat applauded the government’s initiative to subsidise 5,534 seats from AirAsia and AirAsia X to offer them at fixed fares for these upcoming celebrations.

“As the people’s airline, we will continue to support such initiatives in the future.

“In addition to supporting this initiative, we have added commercial flights from Kuala Lumpur and Johor Bahru to Sibu to alleviate capacity constraints to both destinations for these festive periods.

“Our mid-range affiliate airline, AirAsia X, which operates a larger widebody fleet, will also be operating a service from Kuala Lumpur to Kota Kinabalu to ensure extra capacity is available to meet corresponding demand,” he said in a media release today.

As part of BigPay and AirAsia’s strengthened partnership, BigPay users can enjoy five per cent off all AirAsia flights with flight code ‘AK’ for a year using the promo code ‘BIGPAY5’. For more information on this exclusive promo, visit https://bigpay.link/bigpayxAA5.

Guests travelling during the Kaamatan and Gawai celebrations period are advised to arrive at the airport at least two hours before their scheduled departure time (for domestic travel) to avoid congestion.

Guests are also highly encouraged to self-check in using the AirAsia Superapp, available as early as 14 days before the departure date and use the e-Boarding Pass to board the flight for a more seamless and hassle-free travel experience.

Guests who will be departing from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) (Terminal 2) are highly recommended to enrol their details for FACES on the AirAsia Superapp to pass through pre-security and seamlessly board the flight without having to display their boarding pass.
