AirAsia X made an announcement on January 24th, explaining that they will be able to fly into any destination in the US after receiving clearance from the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA). According to AirAsia’s CEO, Datuk Kamarudin Meranun, this is a major milestone for AirAsia X.
“I’m confident travellers will respond well to our award-winning service and the kind of connectivity we can offer with our Fly-Thru product. As part of our expansion plans, we are also looking to resume our very popular London route, and are working towards securing the necessary approvals,” he told The Star.
So guys, we’ve got less than 24 hours until the tickets go on sale. Now’s the best time to break that piggy bank you’ve been saving for that special vacation. Hawaii, here we come!
