SEPANG, 10 March 2026 – AirAsia Malaysia (flight code AK) today announced the expansion of its Indonesia network with the launch of its 20th route to the country, connecting Kota Bharu to Jakarta.
Starting 16 June 2026, the airline will operate four weekly flights between Kota Bharu and Jakarta, strengthening connectivity between the northern coast of Malaysia and the capital of Indonesia. AirAsia will be the first airline to operate this international route between Kota Bharu & Indonesia in the second half of the year and is expected to further boost international arrivals and support Kelantan’s growing tourism and medical travel ambitions.
Dato’ Captain Fareh Mazputra, General Manager of AirAsia Malaysia said: “We are thrilled to introduce this new connectivity and the timing is ideal to further stimulate our northern coastal destination with more international travellers. As Kelantan expands into the medical tourism space, especially targeting Indonesia and neighbouring countries, stronger air links are essential. Backed by private specialist hospitals delivering quality care at competitive prices, the state is poised to attract greater cross-border medical travel.”
