When waving off the inaugural flight, AirAsia X Malaysia CEO, Benyamin Ismail noted that the airline’s service resumption to Beijing reflects their commitment to boosting their network in China, historically always been one of our biggest and most popular markets.
He added:
…. We are also looking at ramping up the frequency to four weekly flights starting 1st June 2023 to meet growing forecast demand, further boosting exchanges between the world’s second largest economy and Asean, and the region’s tourism recovery.
In addition to AirAsia X Beijing flights, he also flagged further AAX expansion in China on the horizon with a plan to relaunch more routes. Also on the cards are the introduction of more unique, less travelled destinations in China in the near future.
