AirAsia X planning Paris service as France grants landing rights

Posted 12 October 2009 21:00

AirAsia said it has been granted landing rights in Paris by the French government and is awaiting further details from authorities. "The French government's approval places AirAsia in a significant position, in line with the plans by AirAsia X to expand our operations in Europe," AirAsia X CEO Azran Osman-Rani said. "AirAsia X had initially considered launching a route from Kuala Lumpur to Nice, France, next year but with this latest news, the airline will recalibrate its strategy as we now have an opportunity to fly to Paris." Currently, its sole service in Europe is seven weekly flights to London Stansted.
