With tourism gradually picking up in many countries, AirAsia is set to resume flights in various Asian countries, commencing with Malaysia on April 29, followed by Thailand on May 1, the Philippines on May 1, India on May 4 and Indonesia on May 7, subject to government approval, as reported in The Jakarta Post.
The resumption of services will initially start with key selected routes and gradually increase to include other international destinations once the situation improves and governments lift border and travel restrictions.
Bo Lingam, President of Airlines Business at AirAsia Group said: “We are very pleased to be able to fly again and to serve our guests starting with domestic routes, and hope to resume full operations as soon as possible. We have undertaken a thorough review of our guest-handling procedures both on the ground and onboard in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. We have been working closely with airport authorities to ensure that all the relevant precautionary measures are in place to ensure a safe, pleasant and comfortable journey for everyone.”
Passengers are advised to adhere to universally recommended protective precautionary measures, including wearing face mask, social distancing and observing strict personal hygiene. The aircraft, which are fitted with hospital-standard High-Efficiency Particulate Air filters, will also be thoroughly disinfected after each flight.
