AIRASIA has opened its first airport transit lounge with the debut of the AirAsia Premium Red Lounge last Friday at klia2.
The 24-hour lounge service is complimentary for the LCC’s Premium Flatbed and Premium Flex passengers departing from klia2, the carrier’s operating headquarters in Malaysia, while walk-in access is also available to anyone with a valid boarding pass for 79 ringgit (US$19.30).
Kamarudin Meranun, executive chairman of AirAsia Berhad and group CEO for AirAsia X, stated that the lounge offering helps differentiate AirAsia from other budget airlines and raises the bar for low-cost travel in general.
“We receive a significant number of at least 5,000 transit guests per day who would find services such as the AirAsia Premium Red Lounge an added convenience and a plus point to their travelling experience,” said Kamarudin, adding that the lounge can accommodate up to 110 guests at any one time.
The newly-opened lounge takes up a 302m2 space located at the mezzanine level of the international departure area at klia2.
