AirAsia X now connects New Delhi direct to Kuala Lumpur, with the successful take-off of its maiden flight. The airline now provides Indians with better connectivity, low-fares and high-value service into the capital city of Malaysia. The inaugural celebration event was graced by His Excellency Datuk Naimun Ashakli Mohammad, High Commissioner of Malaysia to India; Amaran Abdul Rahman, North India Director, Tourism Malaysia and Benyamin Ismail, CEO of AirAsia X Berhad.
Benyamin Ismail, Chief Executive Officer of AirAsia X Berhad said, “We are excited to be here today, to celebrate the return of AirAsia X flights to New Delhi. We now have stronger foundation to be in this market, complementing the existing route network of our affiliates AirAsia Berhad, Thai AirAsia and AirAsia India, in addition to the growing demand for connectivity between New Delhi and Kuala Lumpur. Moving forward, we plan to provide even greater connectivity to Australia and North Asia via Kuala Lumpur from this capital city.”
“In 2015, our affiliates Malaysia AirAsia and Thai AirAsia carried over one million guests in and out of India, and with AirAsia X’s entry into this market, we can provide even more connectivity for our Indian guests to the rest of Asia and Australia through our extensive route network, especially through our Fly-Thru product,” added Benyamin.
Guests can make use of the optional Fly-Thru service to connect to flights with their baggage checked-through to the final destination without the hassle of immigration clearance at the transit hub. With this optional service, guests can now travel to most cities in Asia and Australia such as from Sydney, Bali, Phuket or Hong Kong from New Delhi via Kuala Lumpur. Guests can also connect to other cities in Malaysia or Thailand directly from Kuala Lumpur via AirAsia Berhad (flight code AK) or Thai AirAsia’s domestic operations (flight code FD).
