AirAsia has launched flights between Kuala
Lumpur and the UNESCO World Heritage city of Luang Prabang in
Laos.
The direct connectivity between Kuala Lumpur -
Luang Prabang is AirAsia Group’s 70th intra-ASEAN route connecting
all ten ASEAN countries, as well as the airline’s fourth route
into Laos after Kuala Lumpur – Vientiane, Bangkok – Vientiane and
Bangkok - Luang Prabang.
Ms Aireen Omar, CEO of AirAsia Berhad, said, “We
are very happy to be the first and only airline to connect Luang
Prabang to Kuala Lumpur directly. We are also pleased to be the
airline that connects the people of Laos to two of the main cities
in ASEAN; Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur which are both major AirAsia
hubs. From there, Laotians are able to connect to over 120 AirAsia
destinations throughout 27 countries. As a Truly ASEAN airline, we
want to further champion connectivity to second and third-tier
cities, and help to grow the market together.”
An UNESCO World Heritage city, Luang Prabang is
one of the most alluring places in Southeast Asia. The former
capital is located in Northern Central Laos, approximately 300km
North of Vientiane at the confluence of the Mekong River and the
Nam Khan River.
