Air Asia, a low-cost carrier in Asia, is set to launch its flights between Dhaka and Kuala Lumpur on March 12 this year.
Officials of Dahmashi Tours and Travels Ltd, which has been appointed general sales agent (GSA) of Air Asia, told a meet-the-press programe that it would operate one flight a day between the two cities of Bangladesh and Malaysia.
"Though not fixed yet, we're hopeful of fixing the ticket fare at between Tk 15,000 and 23,000, depending on different categories for a return journey of a passenger," said Dahmashi's CEO Noman Chowdhury.
He said: "This is ever cheapest in any many ways for a return trip between Dhaka and Kuala Lumpur. The detailed fares would be announced Saturday next."
The normal price of a return ticket of high-profile airline is between Tk 28,000 and Tk 32,000.
He, however, said Air Asia launched an online ticket booking for the passengers, for which a one-way ticket cost was set at US$ 29. This ticket booking started Monday and remain valid until February 12.
Those who successfully booked their tickets would be able to enjoy their travel anytime between 12 March 2009 and 31 January 2010.
"But only those who have international credit cards can try to secure the opportunity for such a cheapest offer. Only a certain per cent of the total tickets will be sold at such a lowest rate," Noman said.
The officials said Air Asia is operating in different countries of the Asian region. It has been the leading and low-cost carrier in Asia having extensive network in South East Asia with 110 routes.
