Hot Hot Grab it soon ! AirAsia introductory CMB – KL fares only Rs.1800 !

An AirAsia Boeing 737-300, 9M-AAH, at Colombo on a ferry flight to KL. Note that AirAsia does not use this type anymore and instead user brand new Airbus A320s

Now this is a great deal !
AirAsia will be offering Rs.1800 ( around 160USD ) one-way fares on the newly inaugurating Colombo – Kuala Lampur route ! Grab your seats soon ! Hurry up !

The schedule as I posted earlier, is as follows.

AK255 0615 KUL 0715 CMB D 320
AK256 0815 CMB 1430 KUL D 320

Key:
D = Daily
320 = Airbus A320-200
All times local

Dear SriLankan, you will be very sorry with your fares 15 times higher !

Currently SriLankan operates daily on the CMB-KUL route and Malaysia Airlines ( MH ) operates thrice weekly passenger and once weekly freighter services . Both carriers codeshare on each others’ flights.
UL operates a mix of A330-200s and A340-300s, while MH operates A330-300s.

Current UL summer operation to KUL is as follows.
Given in the following order

Flt. No. ETD from CMB ETA at KUL Days of operation A/C Type Via

UL318 0725 1550 4 343 SIN
UL318 0725 1550 1,2 332 SIN
UL314 0701 1255 5,6 332 -
UL314 0701 1255 3,7 343 -

Keys: 1-7 = Monday to Sunday
343 : Airbus A340-300
332 : Airbus A330-200
SIN : Singapore

I would not be suprised to see UL314 on days 3 and 7 being downgraded to an A330 and the situation leading them to fully terminate KUL terminator flights or operate with A320s.

AirAsia’s entry will be warmly welcomed by the travelling public.
