AirAsia Flights To KK & Kuching Will No Longer Fly From Subang Airport Starting 7 April

AirAsia Malaysia's CEO, Datuk Captain Fareh Mazputra, explained that while Subang Airport has been convenient for city travellers, KLIA2 offers better infrastructure to handle larger passenger volumes, especially during peak seasons, reported the New Straits Times.
