KAI's VP of Public Relations, Joni Martinus, explained that the KAI Expo 2023 is being held to celebrate National Transportation Day on September 17, 2023, and KAI's 78th anniversary on September 28, 2023.
"The large number of promotional tickets provided by KAI aims to improve customer service through the sale of tickets at affordable prices," said Joni in his official statement on Wednesday (September 20, 2023).
KAI hopes that the public will make the most of this promotion, as the quota is limited.
