Special appearances by Batman, Tweety Bird and Bugs Bunny characters were jointly organised by AirAsia, Tourism Queensland, Gold Coast Tourism and Western Australia Tourism.
Firefly Sdn Bhd managing director Eddy Leong said response from the public at this year’s fair was “80% higher than last year” with a very high percentage of sales for Langkawi and Koh Samui flights.
“It is only the first day and Firefly flights at RM5 to Langkawi is almost taken up whereas it is almost impossible to get seats for the holiday packages that come with zero fares,” he said.
As for Koh Samui, Leong said that it was more popular among couples and foreigners.
