AIRASIA OFFERS FREE SEATS FOR FOUR NEW ROUTES

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 23 (Bernama)-- AirAsia is giving away free seats to mark the
launch of four new routes -- Bali-Singapore,
Bandung-Singapore, Jakarta-Singapore and Yogyakarta-Singapore.

The booking is open for travel from March 24 till Jan 31, 2010 and is also
available online via the website www.airasia.com

The four new routes further enhances AirAsia's present vast network,
especially across the Asean region.

With brand new routes being constantly introduced, countries across the
region
are efficiently connected with each other and the rest of the world through the
budget carriers' hubs in Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand.

Indonesia AirAsia CEO Dharmadi said: "These new routes are a significant
achievement for us as it signifies our drive and commitment in expanding our
network, providing an extensive choice of destinations to our guests."

"For a start, there will be one daily direct flight from Bali,
Bandung and Yogyakarta to Singapore and two daily direct flights from Jakarta to
Singapore.

"With these new routes, more people in Indonesia will get to enjoy
accessibility to Singapore. Through our extensive network, covering over 114
routes and 64 destinations, it opens the door to other destinations in the Asean
region, Japan, China, Australia and Europe," he said.

The new routes will be operated by AirAsia's Indonesian operations,
currently the only airline flying the Bandung-Singapore route and the first low-
fare airline to service the Yogyakarta-Singapore route.

AirAsia Regional Head of Commercial Kathleen Tan said: "It is also
convenient for Indonesians to visit Singapore, renowned as a shopping
paradise, leisure centre and food haven.

"The daily direct flights from out of four Indonesian cities will definitely
enhance accessibility for the republic and continue to attract guests with our
low fares and innovative services.

"This enhanced passenger traffic will definitely boost tourism and stimulate
local economies between Indonesia and Singapore," she added.
