AIRASIA X (AAX) yesterday celebrated another major milestone with the announcement of a brand new route to Africa – connecting travellers to safari haven Nairobi in Kenya’s capital.
Set to take its first flight on Nov 15, the route marks a historic achievement for AAX as the sole low-cost carrier in Malaysia to offer direct air connectivity to the city.
The move followed the airline’s solid start to the year, showcasing a robust trajectory in its financial results with strong load factors and regaining market leadership on the network front. In March this year, AAX also introduced new flights to Almaty in Kazakhstan, its maiden entry into Central Asia.
“The Nairobi route serves as a crucial link in connecting Asia to Africa, fostering stronger trade, tourism and business ties within the region. By facilitating direct air travel between Kuala Lumpur and Nairobi, the airline aims to enhance accessibility and spur economic opportunities for both countries,” the company stated.
