Le Mistresses: HELLO KAOHSIUNG!

Hey all!

I (Caroline) just got back from an awesome 6D5N familiarisation trip to Kaohsiung with Airasia in conjunction with the inaugural flight from Kuala Lumpur to Kaohsiung on the 16th of July 2015. Now that's the great news, you can now take a direct flight from Kuala Lumpur to Kaohsiung with Airasia! 

Our flight, AK170 took off around 830am in the morning and it takes approximately 4-hour 30-minute of flight journey to Kaohsiung. The inaugural flight to Kaohsiung was fully booked! The flight was given a grand welcome with a water salute upon arrival.

Hsu Chuan-Sheng, Director General of Kaohsiung Tourism Bureau said, “Tourists from Southeast Asia remains the third biggest source of visitors into Taiwan while the number of Taiwanese tourists to Malaysia averaged at about 200,000 yearly. This shows the tremendous potential in tourism industry between Taiwan and Malaysia.

The Kaohsiung Tourism Bureau valued the Southeast Asia tourism market very much and we are very pleased to see the commencement of this brand new route by AirAsia. Taiwan also hosts a high number of Malaysian students here and I’m sure they will be benefited with the enhanced connectivity between the two destinations.”

“We are proud to connect both the North and South of Taiwan directly to Kuala Lumpur, which is our biggest hub, offering our guests connection to over 20 countries throughout the region. And vice versa, we are able to connect not just Malaysians, but our guests from over 20 countries to Taipei and Kaohsiung from Kuala Lumpur with this new direct flight.” - Mr Spencer Lee, AirAsia Berhad's Head of Commercial
