AirAsia X flying to Seoul at last :)


FINALLY !!!! Malaysian can look forward to cheaper airfare to Seoul, Korea...!!!
Luckily the constant complains by AirAsia people work, else I think we have to wait another year or so...

Long-haul budget carrier AirAsia X (5099) has received local approval to fly the Kuala Lumpur-Seoul route, AirAsia Bhd group chief executive officer Datuk Seri Tony Fernandes said.


"Just been given rights to Seoul. At last. Thank you, Prime Minister," Fernandes said on Twitter yesterday, confirming a Business Times report that the airline was tipped to receive the rights.

AirAsia X had been waiting for the approval for about a year, having submitted a request to operate daily flights.


Fernandes said the airline would now work to secure the Kuala Lumpur-Sydney rights."Not fair that people have to pay high fares," he tweeted from France.

AirAsia X has not decided yet when it will start its service to Seoul, AirAsia X chief executive officer Azran Osman-Rani, who is also in France, told Business Times in a text response.
