AirAsia Urges Early Planning as Monsoon Risks Meet Year-End Travel

Sepang, 2 November 2026 – AirAsia has urged passengers travelling during the year-end peak to allow more time for their journeys as Malaysia’s Northeast Monsoon, expected to run from 27 October 2026 through March 2027, brings periods of heavy rain, particularly from November to January.
