AIRASIA will launch four-times-weekly Singapore-Makassar flights on July 1 to meet market demand for the route, bringing AirAsia’s Indonesian destinations to six.
The service operates on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays, leaving Singapore at 10.45 and reaching Makassar at 13.15. Flights out of Makassar to Singapore run on the same days, leaving Makassar at 07.40 and arriving in Singapore at 10.10.
“Our strong record in passenger (numbers) flown so far has proven that Indonesia is a strong market for us and we look forward to signing up more direct routes there to meet our customers’ demands,” said Logan Velaitham, CEO, AirAsia in Singapore.
To mark the introduction of the new route, AirAsia has rolled out promotional fares. One-way air tickets from Singapore to Makassar start from S$65 (US$52) for the travel period July 1 to August 15, and are available for booking now until June 16.
Early last month, SilkAir announced that it would commence thrice-weekly flights from Singapore to Semarang on July 29, and thrice-weekly Singapore-Makassar flights on August 1 (TTG Asia e-Daily, May 3, 2013).
