Paris Air Show 2009 AirAsia X, the offshoot of Asia’s leading low-cost carrier, is starting low-cost, long-haul flights between Europe and the Asia-Pacific region with the launch in March of services between London Stansted and Kuala Lumpur.
The flights, which are aimed at undercutting the fares of existing full-service network carriers by 40 to 50 per cent, were announced on Tuesday with lead-in fares of £99 ($151) one way including taxes and charges. Average fares are expected to be about £150 one way.
