Starting from 8 February 2020, Indonesian airline Citilink Indonesia launched its new international route from Bandung, Husein Sastranegara International Airport (BDO), to Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA).
“Bandung has long been a popular destination of Malaysians when visiting Indonesia. By launching this new route, we hope there will be more foreign tourists coming to both countries which can contribute to the growth of national economy and tourism,”
