Capital A CEO Tony Fernandes has revealed that AirAsia will be applying for a licence to operate flights out of Subang Airport again, over two decades since they moved to KLIA.
and replacing it with Bo, their AI-powered avatar, Capital A CEO Tony Fernandes also shared that AirAsia is currently looking at possibly flying out of the Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport, also known as the Subang Airport. According to Fernandes, AirAsia will be applying for a licence to operate flights out of the Subang Airport.
This follows an earlier announcement by Transport Minister Anthony Loke who revealed that the government has. Under SARP, Subang Airport is set to undergo a major transformation from an airport mostly dealing with turboprop planes into a regional aviation hub with a maximum capacity of 8 million passengers.
There’s also a pretty compelling reason behind Tony wanting more flights between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore for AirAsia. The route was deemed the fifth busiest air route in the world last year, with over 2.4 million travellers heading down south in 2022 according toIncidentally, the opening of Subang Airport to AirAsia might not mean necessarily mean cheaper flights.
This is likely a reflection of Subang Airport being a more premium option for business travellers that want the convenience of Subang Airport being nearer to the city compared to KLIA; leisure travellers on the other hand are more likely to be willing to travel to KLIA if it saves a buck. Don’t just take our word for it though—even Tony thinks so too:
“In big cities like Kuala Lumpur, you need to have more airports. I think it is a very bold, brave and right decision for the domestic aviation industry in Malaysia. I imagine it will be more expensive to fly from Subang Airport than the Kuala Lumpur International Airport , but I think it is the right decision,” – Tony Fernandes, as quoted byNevertheless, with the Subang Airport Regeneration Plan now approved, hopefully Malaysia can mimic Singapore’s Changi T4 when redeveloping Subang Airport.
