AirAsia announced another historic milestone in its expansion journey to India, launching two new routes to the famed cities of Kozhikode and Guwahati.
This marks the airline’s 14th & 15th routes to the country, adding to its rapidly growing network in West Asia. The new flight services are set to take off on 1 August 2024 with a thrice-weekly frequency.
Kozhikode and Guwahati ‒ both with their own charm and deeply-rooted blend of culture and gastronomy ‒ offers something for everyone. The former, sometimes referred to as Calicut and is nestled comfortably in the heart of Kerala state in India’s south, is a picturesque city of bustling spice markets, exquisite Malabar cuisine and ancient buildings. It is also the first UNESCO-designated city of literature in India thanks to its steadfast commitment towards harnessing culture and creativity. Visitors to the city will be treated to the world-famous Kerala hospitality, stunning sunsets and panoramic sights.
Equally enchanting is Guwahati, situated in the northeast of India in the state of Assam. Surrounded by natural scenic spots, visitors often flock to the city to bask in the view of the breathtaking Brahmaputra River ‒ the pride of Guwahati. Besides that, the lively city is home to sacred religious sites namely the Kamakhya, Umananda and Hajo temples.
To celebrate this milestone in true AirAsia style, the airline is excited to offer FREE* seats from Kuala Lumpur to Kozhikode and Guwahati with starting fares of just RM201*, and from INR4,132* from the two cities to Kuala Lumpur, enabling guests to explore both countries affordably. Book from now till 5 May 2024 and travel between 1 August to 17 June 2025.
