Jetstar Asia to Launch Flights to Langkawi and Penang

Jetstar Asia has been given flying rights approval by the Air Traffic Rights Committee to commence flights to Penang and Langkawi in Malaysia. The new routes will represent Jetstar Asia’s 17th and 18th destinations. While the flights are still subject to regulatory approval, the airline has said it hopes to commence flights later this year, with schedule and fares to be confirmed in due course.

Jetstar Asia Chief Executive Officer Ms Chong Phit Lian said she was excited about the prospect of further expansion of Jetstar Asia into Malaysia. “With flights already to Kuala Lumpur, Kuching and Kota Kinabalu, these new destinations will further expand the important role Malaysia plays in the Jetstar network. “We are excited to be able to now pursue flying to two of Malaysia’s best holiday destinations,” she added.
