Air Asia Has Arrived

Low-cost long-haul flights to Asia are to be launched this summer by Air Asia. Fares from Britain are expected to be priced at around £100 each way to the Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur when the first flights start in July.
The new airline will be competing with Oasis Hong Kong Airlines which started flying from Gatwick to Hong Kong in October.
Air Asia plans to fly from either Stansted or Manchester to Kuala Lumpur as part of plans to develop a network of budget flights serving China, India, the Middle East, Australia and Europe.
Air Asia is Asia's biggest low-cost carrier, just like Ryanair in Europe.
