| November 21, 2009 | AirAsia set to become most connected non-local airline in India | | Sepang (Malaysia): With the launching of three new flights to Kochi,
Kolkata and Thiruvananthapuram, Malaysia-based low cost carrier AirAsia is set to become the most connected non-local airline in India. AirAsia is also planning flights
to nine new destinations in India soon. "AirAsia is now operating in a market
of 2.5 billion people and it is a nice position to be in," The Star quoted AirAsia
CEO Tony Fernandes, as saying. Fernandes said that flights to Kochi and Kolkata
will operate daily, while there will be two flights to Thiruvananthapuram operating two
or five times weekly. AirAsia also announced three more flights to Chennai, Bangalore
and Hyderabad starting from April next year. The three cities would be connected
to Kuala Lumpur, with an extra flight to Chennai from Penang. AirAsia would launch
flights to Mumbai and Delhi by the end of the year. "About eight to 10 aircraft
will service the routes once a day. The Indian middle class is growing fast. With
our low fares, we can offer them a lot," Fernandes said, adding that AirAsia was
also looking to fly to Delhi, Kolkata and Amritsar from Bangkok. | |
