Airasia new routes to Abu Dhabi, UAE

What a good news especially to Malaysian expatriate who are now working in Abu Dhabi. Eventhough, your perks there is sky high, I believe the recent AirAsia announcement on the new routes to Abu Dhabi is something that has been waiting by many. Now travelling to the Middle East will no longer burn a hole in the pocket.

It will only cost RM99 for a one-way fare on AirAsia X’s flights between Abu Dhabi and Kuala Lumpur. This is for travel during the period between Nov 23 this year and July 31 next year where AirAsia X will offer five flight a week during the Haj period.

The Airbus A340 aircraft, with a capacity of 286, will fly this new route.
