AirAsia, the acclaimed low-cost airline, is reaffirming its dedication to the Indian market by bolstering its network, connecting Indian travelers to an array of 130 destinations across Asia and the Asia Pacific. This move highlights AirAsia's ongoing commitment to maintaining a robust presence in the Indian aviation sector.

Currently, AirAsia operates a substantial network, servicing 10 routes directly from India to Malaysia and Thailand. This includes 104 weekly flights from short-haul airlines AirAsia Malaysia (flight code AK) and AirAsia Thailand (flight code FD). Additionally, medium-haul affiliate AirAsia X Malaysia (flight code D7) offers two direct routes from New Delhi and Amritsar to Kuala Lumpur with 8 flights weekly.

AirAsia's growth ensures a comprehensive and seamless travel experience, particularly through its Fly-Thru connectivity. This service allows passengers to book flights from India to Southeast Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and other destinations in one seamless booking, transforming international travel into a more accessible and affordable experience.

Bo Lingam, Group CEO of AirAsia Aviation Group Limited, remarked, “India has always been a key market for AirAsia. We have flown over 1.6 million guests from India this year, showcasing our strength in fares and connectivity. Our new route to Thiruvananthapuram and expansion plans are part of our commitment to making international travel from India accessible and affordable.”

Manoj Dharmani, AirAsia Head of Regional Commercial (India), also emphasized the airline's dedication to the Indian market, highlighting the expansion to 11 destinations in India and a total of 104 weekly flights. This development makes AirAsia a critical link between India and the global travel landscape.

AirAsia is currently offering promotional fares starting from INR 6,999 one-way to destinations like Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Bali, Phuket, and Sydney, valid for travel until 30 September 2024. These fares are available for booking on the AirAsia website and Superapp until 26 November 2023.

AirAsia, a part of Capital A, began in 2001 when Tony Fernandes and Kamarudin Meranun transformed an ailing airline into a leading low-cost carrier in Asia. The airline, known for its tagline 'Now Everyone Can Fly,' has since carried close to a billion passengers to over 130 destinations in 23 countries, democratizing air travel in the region.

With its expanded network and ongoing initiatives, AirAsia is set to continue its trajectory as a leading player in the aviation industry, connecting India to the world and underlining its commitment to affordable and accessible air travel for all.
