SEPANG – AirAsia X (AAX) yesterday (Dec 1) celebrated its maiden flight from Kuala Lumpur to Taipei.
AAX CEO Benyamin Ismail said: “Our rapid expansion into East Asia as a group continues with these thrice-weekly flights to Taipei following the launch of services to Tokyo and increased flight frequencies to Seoul recently. Moreover, AirAsia Malaysia (AK) has restarted its services from Kuala Lumpur to Kaohsiung last month and will commence a route from Kota Kinabalu to Taipei this month. That’s not all, AirAsia Philippines (Z2) will also fly from Manila to Taipei this month.
“So many people have not been able to be connected for over two years to or from Taipei due to the Covid induced travel restrictions. As a popular leisure, visiting friends/family and business route, we foresee this will provide a welcome boost for the tourism sectors in both Malaysia and Taipei. We look forward to working closely with our tourism and airport partners to make the return of this popular route a success with the intention of increasing services in the near future as travel demand is forecast to soar.”
In celebration of its inaugural flight, AAX is offering great value fares from Kuala Lumpur to Taipei from RM399 all-in one way for economy and RM1,499 one way for Premium Flatbed. Great fares are also available for the return flights from TWD3,090 all-in one way for economy and TWD9,690 one way for Premium Flatbed.
