SEPANG: AirAsia X is increasing its flight frequency from Kuala Lumpur to Taipei and Perth in line with its move to focus on its core markets this year.

The long-haul, low-fare affiliate of AirAsia will increase its daily flights to Taipei to 11 a week effective June 22 and nine a week to Perth from June 24. AirAsia X chief executive officer Azran Osman-Rani said the airline was responding to strong and growing travel demand to and from Taiwan and Australia. “The demand for travel to Perth and Taipei recorded strong average passenger loads in excess of 85% last year,” he said in a statement yesterday.
