AirAsia to fly to India by Oct

Kuala Lumpur: Low-cost carrier AirAsia Bhd expects to open a new route to India by October this year, its chief executive officer Datuk Tony Fernandes said.
“We are in the final process of applying to the Indian government. We received the rights from the Malaysian government,” he told reporters on the sidelines of a political ceramah in Bangsar.
Fernandes said while AirAsia X would focus on flying to Amritsar in Punjab, AirAsia would be looking at a new route to South India but it had not decided on the exact destination.
“It’s our final frontier. I am sounding like Star Trek. The first plan was Malaysia. Second plan was Asean, which we kind of dominated. Then, we went into China, which we are growing, and finally India. With that our mission will be completed,” he added.
