3 July 2011, Sepang, Malaysia – AirAsia X, long haul arm of AirAsia, has flown over 5 million passengers in less than four years of service since its first flight in November 2007.
From 4 July 2011, AirAsia has launched a special promotion offering low, all-in fares across its network excluding Tehran from Kuala Lumpur to commemorate its achievement.
Azran Osman-Rani, CEO of AirAsia X said, “This is indeed a milestone for us. In less than 4 years, with just one destination to the Gold Coast, Australia in November 2007, to 15 destinations to date, we have flown over 5 million guests across 10 countries around the world. This amazing achievement would not have been possible without the support from our guests. By tapping the underserved market, AirAsia X has created a whole new option for travelers in the region using Kuala Lumpur as a gateway into ASEAN, which is complemented by our short-haul affiliate, AirAsia’s extensive route network in the region. Likewise, guests from ASEAN may tap on AirAsia X network to Europe, Australia, Japan, Korea, India and more. We expect passenger numbers to multiply within the next two years once the airline takes delivery of its five new Airbus A330s which will be deployed to new destinations across Asia Pacific and the Middle East.
Azran added, “The record performance speaks volume for our model and has indeed proved that we are heading towards the right direction of a global shift towards Low Cost Carriers (LCC) today. We are pleased that people around the world are more supportive towards LCCs today and have come to believe that affordable travel does not mean low quality.”
