Mohd. Helmi 0 Report post Posted March 12, 2009 AirAsia X To Finalise Leasing Of Another A340 By End-march AirAsia X, also aims to expand into to Central and Eastern Europe, said Azran. "Countries like Russia and Poland are emerging markets, it will be interesting to tap into it," he said, adding that, Germany and Italy could also be attractive destinations. If they can do that right, it could be a real money spinner. There are big Eastern European communities in Australia and New Zealand. A lot of Poles, Croatians, Bosnians, Macedonians, Serbs amongst others. Not to mention the Southern Europeans, the Greeks and Italian communities. Melbourne is home to the largest greek community outside of Greece. MAS tried to do this with flights to ZAG, stopping at VIE, trying to capture the diaspora market, but unfortunately couldn't manage to make it work, unlike their flights to Beirut, filled with Australian Lebanese making trips back to their homeland. The Eastern Europeans are a price sensitive group like most diaspora communities, this might do well with AirAsiaX, because usually they've been going the way of star alliance not MH, via BKK or SIN and connecting at VIE or FRA onwards.

Chaity 1 Report post Posted March 12, 2009 I saw the D7 ad in the newspaper yesterday. Did Bob T.Y. Lee sold his picture to D7? They looks similar. Haven't seen that ad as I was reading news via WWW. Can someone take quick scan or take a shot of the ad ? I am not surprise if someone just plug the photo from Anet and use. This sounded so familiar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Juergen Witte 0 Report post Posted March 21, 2009 Hmmm, i don´t think we will see another european route this year ... And ... Italy ??? I know it´s on D7´s agenda but surely not on top of the list ! I´d rather see D7 going to Cologne maybe next spring ( depending on whether they can aquire enough aircraft or not ! - remember firstly they will increase STN to a daily service which means they need 2 aircraft just for this route !!!)

Bernama.com March 27, 2009 16:16 PM Airasia X Eyes US Market By Year-end SEPANG, March 27 (Bernama) -- AirAsia X, the low-cost long-haul carrier, is eyeing the US market by year-end following its successful launch of the Kuala Lumpur-London route, chief executive officer Azran Osman Rani said today. "There has been a lot of interest from the John F. Kennedy International Airport (in New York) and airports in California have also contacted us," he said. Azran said the US airport operators realised that the air-travel traffic growth was coming from Asia and the premium airlines were also cutting back on their capacity to the West Coast and East Coast of the United States. AirAsia X, which has already finalised the leasing of its second A340-300 from Air Canada, will either fly the Kuala Lumpur-Los Angeles route or Kuala Lumpur-London-New York route, he told reporters after AirAsia Academy's graduation ceremony here. "If we have one plane, at most we can do is five times a week to Los Angeles. The challenge is to secure the rights from the governments," he said, adding that this would be a new market for AirAsia X. On the Middle East, Azran said the possibility of the airline flying there could also materialise within this year. -- BERNAMA http://www.bernama.com/bernama/v5/news_lite.php?id=399578 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mohd Azizul Ramli 2 Report post Posted May 11, 2009 Just a heads up, Air Asia's X 2nd A340 is reported to be in Singapore getting a new one of a kind outfit and i'm guessing maintainance as well. Should be out soon. No idea on the dates tho. Keep a good lookout. Copied from the Anjung Tinjau thread, D7's second's leased A343 from Air Canada is on it's way.
