AIRASIA INDONESIA NOTES INCREASING IN TICKET BOOKINGS BY UP TO 400%

AIRASIA Indonesia recorded an increase in ticket reservations by more than 400% and total seat sales of more than 19,000 seats within one month after resuming scheduled flights.

According to Director of AirAsia Indonesia Veranita Yosephine Sinaga explained, the trend of demand showed a significant gradual increase seen from an increase in ticket search activity on the official site by 80% since the beginning of the operation again. Meanwhile, Jakarta-Bali and Surabaya-Kuala Lumpur are the most desirable domestic and international routes.

“This growth is influenced by a variety of factors, one of which is the government’s efforts to educate about travel procedures during the adaptation of new habits that are responded well by the community,” Veranita said in an official broadcast.

Veranita said that she had anticipated it by gradually increasing flight frequency on a number of routes served and expanding the reach of destinations. The airline has been present in six domestic destinations, namely Jakarta, Medan, Bali, Surabaya, Yogyakarta and Lombok, as well as Kuala Lumpur and Penang for international destinations.
