Chief executive officer Azran Osman-Rani said he was confident of getting the nod.

“We plan to start our Jeddah-Kuala Lumpur sector this year as the route is important due to the high passenger-load factor,” he told StarBiz after the launch of a partnership between AirAsia and the world’s leading online travel company, Expedia Inc, on Tuesday.

He said that for many years, the Saudi government was protective and unwilling to increase the number of flight frequencies between the two countries.

Previously, there were only four flights operated weekly by Malaysia Airlines but the frequencies were increased to seven times in the second half of 2010.

However, Azran said the Saudi government had reviewed its decision by increasing the landing rights for Malaysia to 28. Indonesia also has the same number of landing rights.

“Malaysia has yet to fully utilise the new landing rights and we are ready to fill in the gap once we received the go-ahead from the Government,” he said, adding that Indonesia had fully utilised its rights with three airlines Garuda Airlines, Lion Air and Air Batavia plying the Jakarta-Jeddah sector.

Azran said the Saudi decision had to do with changes in the global aviation industry where flying was becoming affordable. It also wanted more of its citizens to be able to fly and, at the same time, attract visitors to the country.

He said Malaysia was popular with Saudi tourists, especially during summer months. They spend an average of RM8,000 per person per trip.

On the other hand, Azran said, between 60,000 and 100,000 Malaysian Muslims performed the umrah in Makkah annually and the airline wanted to tap this segment.

He said there were also about 30,000 Malaysians who travelled to Jeddah yearly on Emirates, Saudi Airlines, Sri Lankan Airlines, Singapore Airlines and Qatar Airways.

He added that the airline would increase its twice-weekly flights to Teheran, which it started in 2010, to four times this year.

Bernama reported yesterday that AirAsia X was also awaiting Government approval to fly to Sydney.
