Bukit Bintang (or AIRASIA-Bukit Bintang for KL Monorail sponsorship reasons) is a monorail station located in Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur. As part of the KL Monorail line, it opened alongside the rest of the train service on August 31, 2003.
This monorail station is not integrated and not to be confused with the separate but adjacent Bukit Bintang MRT station, which is serviced by the MRT Sungai Buloh-Kajang Line instead.
The monorail station was opened on Hari Merdeka, 31 August 2003, along with the rest of the KL Monorail line.
The station was officially expanded on 13 September 2015 under the KL Monorail expansion program to accommodate new 4-car monorail trains by Scomi (Scomi SUTRA), and opened up 3 new entrances that directly leads to neighbouring malls.
Formerly known as the Bukit Bintang station since its opening on 2003, the station was renamed to AIRASIA-Bukit Bintang on 9 October 2015 after Malaysian low-cost airline AirAsia was given naming rights by station owner Prasarana Malaysia, under the Station Naming Rights Programme.
The station is situated at Bukit Bintang (translated from Malay to English as "Starhill"), a shopping hub in the Kuala Lumpur Golden Triangle commercial district. The monorail station is erected over Jalan Sultan Ismail, where it is located directly south from the Jalan Sultan Ismail - Jalan Bukit Bintang intersection.
Due to its proximity to Bukit Bintang, the monorail station receives a high volume of passengers during peak hours and non-working days.
