AirAsia X continues to expand its China network with two weekly flights to Beijing. The inaugural flight from Kuala Lumpur landed at Beijing Daxing International Airport yesterday amidst celebrations.
Benyamin Ismail, CEO, AirAsia X Malaysia said: “Our service resumption to Beijing reflects our commitment to boosting our network in China, which has historically always been one of our biggest and most popular markets and providing our guests with more options to travel affordably from/to Kuala Lumpur. We are also looking at ramping up the frequency to four weekly flights starting 1st June 2023 to meet growing forecast demand, further boosting exchanges between the world’s second largest economy and Asean, and the region’s tourism recovery.”
The airline is aiming at more expansion in China as it plans to relaunch more routes and introduced newer, less travelled destinations in China.
The service resumption is expected to stimulate business travel and tourism in both directions, with the potential surge in demand for international travel to China following its recent decision to begin reissuing tourist visas.
