AIRASIA X, the longhaul affiliate of Malaysia-based LCC AirAsia, has launched four-weekly flights from Kuala Lumpur to Osaka, the carrier’s second destination in Japan after Tokyo and sixteenth overall.
Speaking at the official launch ceremony, Azran Osman-Rani, CEO, AirAsia X, said: “Brand affinity for the AirAsia X brand remains at an all time high, with demand also returning to pre-tsunami levels.”

“Similarly, guests from Japan and surrounding regions would be able to fly into Kuala Lumpur and connect onwards to AirAsia’s network of over 165 routes in South-east Asia and beyond,” he added.
