Last year was a monumental year for AirAsia’s connectivity to India in many ways ‒ not only did we launch a new route to Thiruvananthapuram, our second into the state of Kerala, we also celebrated the announcement of visa-free travel for Indian nationals entering Malaysia. Today, I am immensely pleased to announce yet another new route connecting more travellers to Kuala Lumpur from the jewel of Rajasthan, the culturally rich Jaipur. India has always been one of our most important markets, having connected five million AirAsia guests from the country to Malaysia in the last six years and counting. I look forward to seeing where our growing network will bring us next.

said Bo Lingam, Group CEO, AirAsia Aviation Group Limited.

This marks the return of Air Asia Group in Jaipur, also known as the “Pink City”. Air Asia X last served Jaipur from Kuala Lumpur in March 2020, with flights having been ended due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Kuala Lumpur is a favourite travel destination for many Indian travellers for business, leisure and temple visits. Malaysia is also famed for scrumptious local food, its deeply rooted heritage stemming from a melting pot of cultures and its shopping havens.

The low-cost carrier says that this route will also serve to enhance connectivity for travellers from Malaysia heading to Jaipur to explore the city’s wondrous charm, vintage forts, majestic infrastructure and much more.
