Regular AirAsia direct flights from Guilin to Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia, have resumed since June 2023. AirAsia’s flight AK156 was the first international flight to Guilin after China optimized its COVID-19 response measures. Malaysia’s AirAsia Group operates the route with an Airbus A320 aircraft, and a one-way trip lasts approximately four hours.

Direct Flights from Guilin to Kuala Lumpur

From July 18 to Sept. 2 2023, three weekly flights will operate on this route, specifically on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. From Sept. 4 to Oct. 28, the frequency will increase to four weekly flights, scheduled on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. The flight departs from Kuala Lumpur to Guilin in the morning and returns to Kuala Lumpur in the afternoon.

The resumption of this international route is regarded as a significant stride for Guilin in resuming its connection with the Southeast Asian market. It is expected to facilitate tourism and boost economic cooperation between the two destinations.

A Malaysian passenger, Wong, who was travelling with her family members, said they planned to stay in Guilin for three days and visit famous scenic spots.

Huang Yan, who works with the local tourism bureau said, “Malaysia has remained among Guilin’s top three foreign inbound tourist source markets for many years. The reopening of this route is expected to expedite the recovery of Guilin’s inbound tourism market.”

Huang added that reopening this route also marks the resumption of the city’s six-day visa-free policy for tourist groups from 10 ASEAN countries.
