Langkawi expects 100,000 visitors as ferry trips ramp up for the holiday

Ferry operators anticipate approximately 100,000 travelers will visit Langkawi Island during Malaysia Day celebrations and academic holidays. Konsortium Ferry Line Ventures projects that domestic and foreign tourists will arrive through Kuala Kedah and Kuala Perlis terminals. Operations Manager Lt Commander Norhafiz Abdul Wahid confirmed 118 supplementary departures have been scheduled to meet passenger demand. Regular service operates between 7 am and 7 pm, with the potential for an extension until 10 pm, based on booking volumes. Ferry companies maintain continuous operations throughout the holiday period.

Travelers may secure passage through the Cuti-Cuti Langkawi mobile application or the website www.cuticutilangkawi.com. Direct purchases remain available at both Kuala Kedah and Kuala Perlis ferry terminals. The company expects visitor numbers may surpass initial projections if additional evening departures are implemented. Extended operating hours accommodate holiday planners seeking flexible travel schedules. Enhanced capacity addresses increased tourism during the extended break period.
