AirAsia X Resumes Kuala Lumpur to Changsha Flights

More good news for China flights: AirAsia X (AAX) has resumed its services between Kuala Lumpur and Changsha, further solidifying the airline’s commitment to expanding its presence in the Chinese market. This builds on its inaugural flight to Xi’an in early April 2024.

Starting 5 July 2024, travellers can fly directly to Changsha, the capital of Hunan Province. Initial flights will be four times weekly, and Changsha marks AAX’s sixth direct route to China.

AirAsia X CEO Benyamin Ismail said,

“China has always been one of our most popular markets and continues to be amongst our fastest growing markets. Today’s announcement means we are further strengthening our foothold in one of the world’s largest countries, where we have historically maintained a robust presence as the largest low-cost foreign carrier in the region. In 2019, we carried over 140,000 guests to/from Changsha, highlighting the robust demand for our services.

Now with strong pent up demand, we are fully dedicated to propelling the industry forward to achieve the government’s international tourist arrival target of 27 million this year. We remain committed to expanding our network that not only maintains AirAsia Group’s market dominance as the largest foreign best value carrier by capacity, but also enables AAX to remain committed in our quest to stimulate and make air travel affordable for everyone.” 

To commemorate this milestone, AAX announced that flights to Changsha are now available for sale from RM388 all-in-one for a limited time in April. All flights can be booked from now until April 21 for travel between July 5 and October 26 on the AirAsia website or the AirAsia MOVE app.
