AirAsia adds another China link

Monday, 25 Aug, 2009 0

 

 KUALA LUMPUR – AirAsia is expanding its China network by launching a new route connecting Kuala Lumpur to Chengdu.

AirAsia X, the low cost long-haul airline affiliate of AirAsia, will operate the new service.

Flights to Chengdu, will begin on October 20 with four direct flights weekly. Special launch fares are available on the AirAsia website.

Kathleen Tan, AirAsia regional head of commercial, said, “Our China network has remained incomplete without a presence capable of unlocking the potential of travel to the western territories of China.

Chengdu, capital city to Sichuan province, with its strategic location, emerged as the natural point of unlocking the Western catchments areas and thus completing our China route integration.

With Chengdu now added on to our network, AirAsia can now boast that we have mainland China covered with 160 weekly flights,” she added.

Chengdu is home to China’s giant pandas.
