AirAsia X to launch Seoul route in November
KUALA LUMPUR (AFP) - – Long-haul budget airline AirAsia X said Monday it would introduce daily flights to Seoul on November 1, its eleventh destination since the carrier's launch in 2007.
"We estimate that more than 60 percent of AirAsia X passengers to and from Seoul will be first-time visitors, which will contribute significantly to tourism growth," AirAsia X's chief executive officer, Azran Osman-Rani, said.
"We are confident that AirAsia X's direct connection will be able to stimulate new travel demands and further tap new markets, especially that of young working adults and families."
The carrier currently flies to 10 destinations -- London, Taipei, China (Tianjin, Hangzhou, Chengdu), Australia (Gold Coast, Melbourne, Perth) and India (Mumbai, Delhi).
An affiliate of regional low-cost carrier AirAsia and Virgin Group, AirAsia X was launched in January 2007. AirAsia and AirAsia X have common shareholders, including AirAsia founder and CEO Tony Fernandes.
The airline currently has eight aircraft and will have 11 by December. It has also placed an order for 17 Airbus A330s and 10 A340s.
