Ms Kathleen Tan, Regional Head of Commercial AirAsia said, “Myanmar will see a big boost in their tourist entries with this new direct daily flight from Kuala Lumpur to Yangon, as our guests from Europe, China, India, Australia and around the ASEAN region utilizing our Kuala Lumpur hub now has a more affordable option to travel to Myanmar. AirAsia’s affordable fares will also enable the Burmese workforce in Malaysia to return home and visit their families more often. Avid travelers and backpackers looking for the Asian experience can now add Myanmar to their list, as AirAsia’s entry into this market offers greater connectivity options from our Kuala Lumpur hub at a much lower fare.”

The city of Yangon is home to mesmerising Buddhist pagodas of diverse architectural style and structures, such as the Swedagon Pagoda, the most sacred and honourable pagoda in Myanmar, made from eight tonnes of gold and adorned with precious gems like diamonds, rubies, sapphires and emeralds. Other must-see attractions in Yangon include the Sule Pagoda, Botahtaung Pagoda, the National Races Village, National Museum, War Memorial and Yangon Zoological Garden.

Myanmar’s southern uninterrupted coastline facing the Bay of Bengal and the Andaman Sea provides beach lovers with unspoilt beaches such as the breathtaking Ngapali, Ngwe Saung (Silver Beach) and Chaungta.

This new route will be serviced by Airbus A320 aircraft with a 180 passenger capacity.
