AirAsia X expands flight network to Korea, India

 

KUALA LUMPUR: AirAsia X Bhd (AAX) is expanding its flight network from Kuala Lumpur with new services to Incheon, Seoul, South Korea and New Delhi, India commencing from April 20, 2022.

This follows the resumption of the airline's passenger services to Sydney, Australia, in February.

AAX chief executive officer Benyamin Ismail said the airline is confident that its return to these markets will be well received, particularly for those longing to revisit friends and family or for much-anticipated leisure travel.

"With Malaysia's international border reopening last week on April 1, and quarantine free travel both ways on our new services, it is also the perfect time to welcome back international tourists, providing a significant boost to the nation's tourism sector and the economy, as we did pre-pandemic.

"We continue to prioritise putting our guests first, and while we were unable to fly for the past two years due to the unprecedented effects of the pandemic, we are pleased to confirm that anyone with outstanding bookings or credit accounts can now use these to book our new services.

"We are also preparing travel vouchers for our guests who have unutilised credit for future bookings, which AAX will announce in the near future," he said today.

AAX flights to Incheon will initially be operated weekly on Wednesdays and returning on Thursdays.

Flights to New Delhi will resume twice weekly on Wednesdays and Sundays, returning on the same days.

Both services are on sale now for travel between April 20 to June 30, with additional services to be added in the near future.

Guests with outstanding bookings or unused credit during the pandemic will be able to use these for future bookings by updating their original flight booking for future travel or by utilising their credit account to book the flights.
