Low cost carrier AirAsia will operate the flights, state tourism, arts and cultural committee chairman Tan Kar Hing said in a statement.
New flights connecting Ipoh to destinations such as Singapore and Johor Baru are expected to launch before the end of the year.
Low cost carrier AirAsia will operate the flights, state tourism, arts and cultural committee chairman Tan Kar Hing said in a statement.
The Singapore-Ipoh flights will begin operating in November, while the Johor Baru-Ipoh flights will be operated four times weekly beginning on October 1, Tan said.
The flights will be operated by an A320 aircraft, which can accommodate up to 180 passengers.
Tan said the state government would also look at infrastructure facilities at the Sultan Azlan Shah Airport to ensure it will be able to accommodate more flights.
The move to add the Ipoh-Johor Baru route is not new. The route was launched in early 2006 but dropped in September, with AirAsia chief Tony Fernandes unhappy that the runway at the airport in Ipoh had not been extended.
The airport has since been refurbished, including the extension of its 1,789 metre-long runway by another 200 metres to accommodate larger aircrafts.
