AirAsia X seeks to move operations to secondary airports
AirAsia X is looking to move more of its operations to secondary airports in 2018, in a bid to further reduce costs. The carrier's CE Benyamin Ismail says that it is targeting “around 40-50% in cost savings” from moving to smaller airports. Ismail adds that AirAsia X is also eyeing similar switches to Nagoya airport in Japan, as well as Toowoomba Wellcamp airport near Brisbane and the under-construction Western Sydney airport. The latter facility is not expected to open until around 2025. AirAsia X announced in February that it will shift its Melbourne flights from Tullamarine airport to Avalon later this year. The carrier has also identified 3 countries for future growth: China, India and Australia - particularly in more secondary cities. <br/>
