AirAsia announced expansions to its international route network with three new destinations, growing its route network to a total of 93. AirAsia is scheduled to operate three new direct daily services to Ho Chi Minh, commencing in Apr-08, and Hong Kong and Haikou, commencing in May-08.
The announcement of the three routes are part of AirAsia’s Airbus A320 rollout programme to further strengthen AirAsia’s network in the ASEAN region in meeting the increasing traffic demands.
Ho Chi Minh
