\u201cThe resumption of four popular medium-haul routes and announcement of three new long haul services today is a significant milestone following the most challenging time in aviation history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are thrilled to return to London and to launch flights for the first time to Dubai and Istanbul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Istanbul is my favourite destination, and I can’t wait to share the many highlights with everyone. We are sure all of these destinations will prove popular and look forward to seeing everyone back on board AAX again soon.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Capital A president (commercial) Colin Currie added: \u201cToday\u2019s announcement marks a new era for our long haul affiliate AirAsia X which is resuming operations after a two-year hiatus, with refreshed branding to signal a fresh new start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Capital A will support AAX moving forward\u2026 We will use our full resources, including the AirAsia Super App, our cargo business Teleport, fintech arm BigPay and all of the other airlines in the AirAsia Aviation Group to take AAX to new heights.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
