AFTER a 14-year hiatus, AirAsia successfully reinstated its direct flight route connecting Hong Kong and Penang.
The joyous occasion was marked by a water salute as AirAsia AK2280 touched down at the Penang International Airport today at about 2.55pm.
Passengers received a heartwarming reception from dignitaries, including Tourism, Arts and Culture Deputy Minister Khairul Firdaus Akbar Khan, caretaker Penang state exco for Tourism and Creative Economy Yeoh Soon Hin and Chinese vice consul-general in Penang Madam Ding Qiao.
