In a stunning turn of events, AirAsia has announced the abrupt suspension of its popular Ipoh-Singapore route, leaving the Perak state government blindsided.

Loh Sze Yee, the chairman of the state’s tourism, industry, investment, and corridor development committee, expressed strong discontent, revealing that officials were not consulted or informed about the decision ahead of time.

Loh emphasized that data consistently indicates a robust demand for the route, suggesting that the cessation may disappoint many travelers who regularly relied on this connection.

The move raises questions about the future of air travel in the region, particularly for those looking to travel between Malaysia and Singapore.

Travel experts have suggested that the suspension could have economic implications for both states, as this route has been a lifeline for tourism and business exchanges.

With rising competition among low-cost carriers, it remains uncertain how other airlines will respond to fill the void left by AirAsia.

The outcry from local officials signals that this decision may not just affect passengers but could also hinder Perak's tourism growth, an area that has been showing promising recovery post-pandemic.
