AirAsia Aims To Secure 10 New Routes In India

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 1 -- Low-cost carrier, AirAsia Bhd, is confident of securing 10 new routes to India within the next eighteen months, Group chief executive officer Datuk Seri Tony Fernandes said Monday.

He said the carrier had launched its inaugural Kuala Lumpur-Tiruchirappalli flight in south India recently.

"AirAsia received overwhelming response for the route. Barely a month after operating the route, we recorded 100 per cent load factor from Dec 1 to 18," he told reporters.

AirAsia currently serves the route using the 180-seater Airbus 320.
