AirAsia launches flights from Jakarta and Medan to Phuket
The fares, one way from Indonesia, are available online until November 9, for as little as 1,499 baht from Jakarta and as little as 999 baht from Medan. The specials are for flights between December 3 this year and April 30 next year.
Chief Executive Officer of Thai AirAsia, Tassapon Bijleveld said, “The new routes will draw more international tourist traffic from Jakarta and Medan to Phuket and vice versa. AirAsia’s new routes further strengthen our mission to link Asia with other parts of the world”.
Jakarta, Indonesia’s capital, is a fast-growing tourist and commercial center, while Medan is the commercial center of Western Indonesia. With a history going back to 1590, Medan is one of the original Straits Settlements, giving it the same kind of Chinese cultural influence as is seen in Melaka, Singapore, Penang and Phuket.
AirAsia recently made Phuket a hub for regional operations (see previous story here).
