Fixed fares for festive season travel are back with AirAsia in 2026

Do you have your festive season travel plans sorted out yet? This is the time to book fixed fares on special flights for Chinese New Year and Hari Raya as AirAsia supports festive season travel through its annual fixed fares initiatives for the two upcoming festivals. As the two festivals are only a month apart this year, the fixed fares initiatives have been launched concurrently and during the festive season, AirAsia will operate an average of 1,578 flights in total during both Lunar New Year and Hari Raya period, offering more than 31,000 seats at fixed fares.

Speaking at the launch ceremony, Malaysia’s Minister of Transport, YB Loke Siew Fook commented that ensuring Malaysians travel home affordably during key festive seasons continues to be a government priority.

…. AirAsia’s fixed fares initiatives reflect a strong commitment by the airline to support this goal by keeping air travel within reach for more families. Such efforts work hand in hand with existing government measures, including the RM400 FLYsiswa programme, which assists students travelling between Peninsular and East Malaysia. We remain supportive of further collaboration across the aviation industry to strengthen connectivity and benefit the rakyat.

AirAsia Malaysia CEO, Captain Fareh Mazputra added that:

…. AirAsia is kicking off the new year with double festive celebrations, offering our annual fixed fare initiatives for both the Lunar New Year and Hari Raya. With more than 31,000 seats available during the festive period, this initiative is part of our commitment to help Malaysians travel affordably and plan ahead for the festive season. We are proud to support government efforts in ensuring smooth and accessible travel for all, particularly during high-demand periods.
