Not yet bookable but from AirAsia-Facebook: Not very good numbers at Kuantan airport the last years: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sultan_Haji_Ahmad_Shah_Airport

No currently there is a daily CEB-KUL operated bei Philippines AirAsia. No AK. And KUL-Kalibo was canx before the information that Borcay will be closed. So it had nothing to do with that.

AirAsia Indonesia X CGK-NRT will be canx from end of september I think it will be better to take the 2 A333 away from Indonesia!

Philippines AirAsia Manila - Kaohsiung 3/7 from 30th october

Ok thats why i wrote NOVEMBER cause they will ramp up the ops in JHB and KCH from oktober! So JHB and KCH will get one more jet.

But this Thread is about AirAsia and the now served routes and what maybe the future brings :-)

With the first news that Shenzhen is going to double daily...here an overview of the currently operated international routes by AirAsia from BKI ( plus Manila opb Philippines AirAsia and Bangkok opb Thai AirAsia ):

One information i could found and then maybe one of the three new international destinations: AirAsia have traffic rights for daily BKI-NANJING! So far the AirAsia-Group serves Nanjing only out of DMK.

Bangkok is bookable since weeks and will start at the 16th august operated by Thai AirAsia. He speaks from 3 more International destinations starting in december! Plus Sibu and Bintulu. Now in this moment not less than 8 jets are on the way from South Korea to BKI. All by korean airlines! I think Seoul could be one destination..around 5h flighttime, possible with the A320. the other 2 ones should be China, maybe Shanghai and Changsha?

Maybe soon 10 A320 in Kota Kinabalu instead of 8? http://www.theborneopost.com/2018/08/07/kk-set-to-be-more-important-airasia-hub/

Thats different depending on the airports here in Europe but they prefer walkboarding like AirAsia do! Normally they are planning with a 25min turnaround. Some airports dont offer walkboarding, like Barcelona for example. There they are planning with 35min turnaround.

Further on 4 times a week red eye. Nice news for Kuching. This year Kuching will get a boost from Tony. Last year 4 A320, this year 6 A320.

AirAsia Malaysia 8 A320 Kota Kinabalu 6 A320 Kuching 6 A320 Johor Bahru 4 A320 Penang 2 A320 Langkawi Thats from the data based on the flights for November. The jets change between the flights to and from Kuala Lumpur. I will complet it for the other countries during the next time.

AirAsia KUL - Sihanoukville from 4/7 to daily from November KUL - Hua Hin 4/7 now bookable for flights over the "winter" season AirAsia India Bangalore - Bagdogra *new* daily from 18th August

This is the normal procedure for Charter flights from China....in this case to Pattaya. Unbelievable how cheap this trips are for the chinese people. But in the end...the airlines who do such services couldnt gain much money with that! ( Nokair, Thai Lion, Malindo )
