Malaysian carrier to expand India operations

New Delhi: Malaysian low-cost carrier Air Asia would start expanding its footprint in India by the end of this year, doubling its daily flights between Tiruchi and Kuala Lumpur from October.
As part of its "Look at India" plan, Air Asia's second daily flight from Trichy would come in the wake of the high load factors it has been receiving on sector where it has been operating daily flights since December 2008 with an Airbus A-320.
Elaborating the expansion plans, the airline's network management officer Subashini Silvadas said the airline's subsidiary, legacy carrier Air Asia X, planned to operate flights to Delhi and Mumbai, as also to Chennai "by the end of this year or early next year".
