AIR ASIA X TO LUNCH REGULAR FLIGHTS BETWEEN KL AND JAPAN

Malaysian long-haul budget airline AirAsia X is to launch regular flights between Kuala Lumpur and Tokyo starting December 10. Its inauguration flight is scheduled to depart from Tokyo’s Haneda airport at 11:45 pm local time. The carrier plans three flights a week connecting the Malaysian capital with the Tokyo airport. It will be the first foreign budget airline authorised to use Haneda, which began handling an expanded array of international flights in October when it opened a fourth runway and a new terminal.
