AirAsia X considers routes to Europe, US mainland
AirAsia X Group is considering launching routes to Europe and the US west coast over the next 2 years, using its initial deliveries of Airbus A330neos. The group could return to the European market this year, and its first flight to the US mainland may follow as soon as 2020, AirAsia X CE Benyamin Ismail said. The Europe flight would likely be operated by the group’s Thai affiliate, while the Malaysian unit is studying 1-stop US routes. AirAsia X’s first 2 A330neos are scheduled to arrive midyear. The aircraft will be leased and operated by Thai AirAsia X (TAAX). The group also has 66 A330neos on order, with 4 scheduled to be delivered in 2020. Those 4 will likely be split between the Thai and Malaysian operations, Ismail said. The 2 leased A330neos would be enough for TAAX to operate 1 route to Europe, Ismail said. <br/>
