AirAsia Reignites Odisha's Sky Bridge with Bhubaneswar Route Revival

AirAsia, a trailblazer in enhancing Malaysia-India air connectivity, announces the resumption of services to Bhubaneswar, the enchanting capital of Odisha, India. Starting 28 May 2024, travelers can embark on a cultural odyssey with thrice-weekly flights that reignite the allure of the historic city.

The airline's expansion of unique routes to India, now boasting 13 since 2008, cements its position as Malaysia's sole carrier connecting to off-the-beaten-path destinations such as Jaipur and Visakhapatnam. This growth spurt parallels a surge in travel following Malaysia's visa exemption for Indian travelers.

AirAsia's Group CEO, Bo Lingam, articulates a vision of affordability and accessibility for the market: "Bhubaneswar has long awaited our return; a city where history and modernity converge, inviting tourists and business travelers to experience its venerable temples and verdant landscapes."

Dubbed India's 'Temple City', Bhubaneswar's over 600 historic temples create a tapestry of cultural immersion. Notable is the Shree Jagannath Heritage Corridor in Puri, which amplifies the city's pilgrimage significance. Moreover, its business dynamism and picturesque nature spots offer a balanced palette for diverse visitors.

The promotional fares, starting at RM199 and INR4,999 for routes from Bhubaneswar to Kuala Lumpur, spark excitement for travel within 28 May 2024 to 18 June 2025, echoing the airline's vision of broadened horizons. Bookings can be made on the AirAsia MOVE app, the successor to 'airasia Superapp'.

With direct flights to 13 Indian cities, including the upcoming Bhubaneswar route, AirAsia weaves a network of 78 weekly flights. Additionally, AirAsia X Malaysia extends this web with direct routes to New Delhi and Amritsar, encapsulating the company's steadfast dedication to connecting cultures and continents.
