Kuala Lumpur: : AirAsia, through its long-haul unit, AirAsia X, will look at the possibilities of reviving its previously axed routes to Europe and India, citing high operating cost at that time.
AirAsia Group Chief Executive Tan Sri Tony Fernandes (picture) said the long-haul frills-free carrier would be making a re-entry into India by introducing new destinations there to cover the entire nation of 1.2 billion people.
He said India has been a great market for AirAsia all this while as the airline was seen as a strong brand in the country, especially in the southern region.
“We have not covered India yet. The growth potential is definitely there,” he told reporters after the launch of AirAsia X’s prospectus today.
The airline is enroute for listing on Bursa Malaysia on July 10.
