AirAsia Travel & Service Centre Opens in Maldives

AirAsia strengthened its competitive edge in the paradise islands of Maldives over the weekend, with the opening of an AirAsia Travel & Service Centre (ATSC).

The ATSC, operated by All H Maldives Private Limited, is a one-stop centre offering services such as flight bookings to all AirAsia and AirAsia X destinations, as well as hotel and tour activities.

The ATSC accepts cash or credit card payments and acts as an alternative option for travellers who may prefer it to booking online.

“We are pleased to further strengthen our presence here in the Maldives with the launch of AirAsia Travel & Service Centre. With its central location in Male, it is an added convenience for guests who are not able to book their AirAsia flights online,” said Aireen Omar, CEO of AirAsia Berhad. “Our direct route connecting Kuala Lumpur and Male has also shown a strong track record since we started operations last October, with an average load factor of 85% on both ways. We are proud to connect all of our guests from across our extensive route network which covers over 100 destinations into Maldives through Kuala Lumpur, which is one of our biggest hubs, as well as a transit hub for our Fly-Thru guests.”

To celebrate the opening of the ATSC, AirAsia is offering an exclusive promotion with 20% discount off selected AirAsia and AirAsia X flights such as Siem Reap, Shenzhen, Wuhan from Kuala Lumpur and other routes such as Johor Bahru to Guangzhou, and Bali to Darwin and Perth. The promotional fares are available exclusively at the ATSC in Maldives until 29 May 2016 for travel from 1 June 2016 until 31 August 2016.

Moosa Zameer, Minister of Tourism Maldives said, “Since the commencement in October last year, AirAsia has played an integral role in connecting Malaysia and Maldives, maintaining a remarkable load factor. I am very happy to see AirAsia’s contribution in making the “2016 – the visit Maldives Year” a success. I congratulate AirAsia and its local partner All H Maldives Private Limited, partnerships like these are an example of opportunities available to the private sector that will drive the engine of the Maldives Aviation sector.”

The first ATSC opened in Malaysia in March 2011. Today, there are ATSC outlets in Philippines, Thailand, China, Indonesia, India, Vietnam, Cambodia, Myanmar, Malaysia and now Maldives. All ATSC outlets are operated by licensed third-party agents on behalf of AirAsia Berhad. The centre in Maldives is AirAsia’s 94th ATSC in the Asian region.
