AirAsia continues to strengthen connectivity from its second-largest hub in Malaysia, Kota Kinabalu to Kaohsiung, with a frequency of four flights weekly starting from 17 November 2024.

This unique route by AirAsia follows the positive tourism demand between Kuala Lumpur and Kaohsiung, with more than 80,000 guests flown between these two cities since November 2022.
To commemorate the launch of the route, AirAsia is rolling out special fares for flights between Kota Kinabalu and Kaohsiung starting from as low as RM269 all-in* one way.

Kaohsiung is a city renowned for its vibrant arts and culture, and it takes just around 1.5 hours for tourists to travel to Taipei by High-Speed Rail.

For dramatic scenery, head to the Lianchihtan Scenic Area, where you can capture stunning content for your travels. If you prefer nature over art, visit the "Little Jeju Island" of Kaohsiung, Cijin Beach, for breathtaking sea views that will soothe your mind.
