PETALING JAYA: AirAsia has dropped the price of flight tickets to Kuching from Kuala Lumpur to under RM200, from about RM1,000 previously, for a one-way trip ahead of the Dec 18 Sarawak state election and Christmas.

The reduction in airfare comes after the airline received confirmation from the Sarawak Transport Ministry and the Sarawak disaster management committee to operate an additional 42-weekly flights from the peninsula, and Sabah into Sarawak for a limited period.

"In abiding with the limited flight frequencies imposed by the SDMC resulting in a reduced supply of flight seats, AirAsia’s demand-based dynamic pricing mechanism has inevitably derived prices seen as unfavourable to buyers at this time. "Buyers have already taken up to 90% of our capacity on most flights. The limitation on the number of flights available in the market is a key factor that has pushed the prices higher across all airlines," he said.
