AirAsia X has begun operation to Osaka in Japan after having resumed other flights from Malaysia to Japan.
This is good news for tourism both in Japan and Malaysia. AirAsia X Malaysia CEO Benyamin Ismail said, “We are pleased to start the new year with the announcement of our 13th route from Kuala Lumpur to Osaka.”
AirAsia X, a long-haul budget airline based in Malaysia, is the sister company of AirAsia. It commenced operations on 2 November, 2007, with its first service flown from Kuala Lumpur International Airport, Malaysia.
Ismail said: “Today, we have seen a strong passenger load factor for our inaugural flight of more than 95 per cent and we are confident that this route will be very well received despite the competitive landscape. As travel demand rebounds, we will continue to expand our services to exciting destinations in Asia from our regional hubs in Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok.”
