SEPANG: Thousands of passengers are expected to flood Terminals 1 and 2 at Kuala Lumpur International Airport starting tomorrow until the eve of Aidilfitri, transport minister Loke Siew Fook said.
“Saturday and Sunday are expected to be the busiest as many have taken the opportunity to take leave on Monday and Tuesday. Most flights are already fully booked until April 9,” he said after watching the departure of the first fixed-rate late-night AirAsia flight from Kuala Lumpur to Miri at Terminal 2 today.
Loke noted that services on AirAsia, Malaysia Airlines and Batik Air were at full capacity, with flights fully booked three weeks ago, especially on routes from Kuala Lumpur to Kota Kinabalu and Kuala Lumpur to Tawau.
Loke said AirAsia’s late-night flight initiative will be of use to some 22,000 passengers to Sarawak with a fixed fare of RM298 one way, while for Sabah, the fare is RM348.
He said a total of 122 AirAsia late-night flights will operate from today until April 14, to ensure sufficient flights for Aidilfitri and provide passengers with affordable fares.
AirAsia Aviation CEO Bo Lingam said he expects an influx of 75,000 passengers at AirAsia hubs starting tomorrow, with 40,000 passengers at Terminal 2. - FMT
