AirAsia X (AAX) has resumed flights between
Kuala Lumpur and Beijing, China.
The airline is operating the route to Beijing
Daxing International Airport with two flights per week using
Airbus A330 aircraft.
The service resumption will stimulate
business travel and tourism in both directions, with the potential
surge in demand for international travel to China following its
recent decision to begin reissuing tourist visas.
Flight D7342 from KUL is scheduled to take off
every Thursday and Saturday at 18:40, arriving at PKX at 01:05 the
following day.
Flight D7343 from Beijing is timed to leave every
Friday and Sunday at 02:15, arriving at KUL at 08:30.
“Our service resumption to Beijing reflects our
commitment to boosting our network in China, which has
historically always been one of our biggest and most popular
markets and providing our guests with more options to travel
affordably from/to Kuala Lumpur, said Benyamin Ismail, AirAsia X
Malaysia CEO. “We are also looking at ramping up the frequency to
four weekly flights starting 1st June 2023 to meet growing
forecast demand, further boosting exchanges between the world’s
second largest economy and ADEAN, and the region’s tourism
recovery. More expansion in China is on the horizon for AAX as we
plan to relaunch more routes and introduce more unique, less
travelled destinations in China in the near future.”
