AIRASIA will commence thrice-weekly services between Kuala Lumpur and Nanning from December 11, becoming the sole airline to provide direct links between the two destinations.
Flights will depart Kuala Lumpur every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday at 13.25, and arrive at Nanning at 16.45. Return flights will leave Nanning at 17.30 and arrive in Kuala Lumpur at 20.50.
Asian Overland Services Tours & Travel managing director, Yap Sook Ling, said the direct flights would attract more incentive travel to Malaysia especially with Malaysia Convention and Exhibition Bureau’s aggressive marketing efforts in China and its Twin Deal promotion.
The Twin Deal programme rewards corporate meeting and incentive planners who bring their events to Malaysia (TTG Asia e-Daily, August 22, 2012).
She said the direct flights would also encourage more FIT travellers to come, especially the well travelled from Nanning looking for a new destination with direct accessibility.
AirAsia is currently holding a special offer in conjunction with the announcement of the Kuala Lumpur-Nanning route, with one-way, all-in fares starting from RM99 (US$32) available online until September 16.
