AirAsia is discontinuing its daily free bus shuttle service in partnership with Handal Indah's Causeway Link Bus Service from Singapore Tuas, Woodlands to Senai International Airport, Johor Bahru, on 1 July 2015. The last free shuttle bus service is on 30 June.

Handal Indah's Causeway Link has advised Sayacinta - Airpost that the company's free Senai Airport Shuttle Service will operate daily only from JB Sentral to Senai on 1 July. Passengers from Singapore will have to pay for bus services themselves from Singapore to Malaysian Immigration in Johor Bahru and from the Immigration to JB Sentral if they planned to fly from Senai to other cities of AirAsia's Senai route network including flights to Penang, Sibu, Miri, Kota Kinabalu and Langkawi, as well as for Xpressair's flights to Jakarta and Malaysia Airlines' flights.

AirAsia  has developed an international hub in Changi Airport for frequent direct shuttle flights to Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Miri, Kota Kinabalu and Kuching from Singapore and it is in the process of introducing transit connection services for flights with airlines that fly to Singapore.  

Under this arrangement, AirAsia passengers from Malaysia will not need to retrieve their checked-in baggage in Singapore for onward connection flights from Changi Airport to Don Mueang, Phuket via Thai AirAsia, to Jakarta, Bandung, Denpasar, Yogyakarta, Semarang and Solo via AirAsia Indonesia and other airlines that may have future interline agreements with AirAsia.

This bodes good news to all budget travellers that are on multi-city trips.

AirAsia is also introducing more flights to Johor Bahru from other Malaysian cities in order to compete with Firefly Sdn Bhd and FlyMojo, Senai's future boutique airline.
