AirAsia will resume regular flights between Singapore and Malaysia, following the decision to implement the Reciprocal Green Lane (RGL).

These flights are scheduled for the week of August 17, 2020, subject to further announcements by the governments of both countries.

Daily flights between Singapore and Kuala Lumpur

AirAsia will begin by launching daily flights between Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, and one weekly flight each between Singapore and Penang, Kota Kinabalu, Kuching and Ipoh.

This will be followed by other international destinations, subject to approval from the authorities.

According to AirAsia, passengers can expect enhanced safety measures throughout the entire journey, including pre-flight, in-flight, and arrival processes.

Guests are also advised to check and comply with measures implemented by local airport authorities.

AirAsia also stated that to "ensure guests can plan their travel with peace of mind", they will soon allow guests to upload their Covid-19 test results during check-in using the AirAsia mobile app and website.

The RGL scheme requires eligible travellers to abide by the prevailing Covid-19 prevention and public health measures mutually agreed upon by Singapore and Malaysia, which includes undergoing polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests.
