AIr Asia X delays UK launch till Q4 2008

As reported in DowJones News Wires, KL-based AirAsia X, 20% owned by the Virgin Group, plans to start services to London or Manchester in Q408. The LCC’s chief executive, Azran Osman-Rani, told Dow Jones Newswires it would acquire 50 Airbus A350s or Boeing 787-10s to handle its ongoing expansion.

Those interim A330s are not all going to fly to the Gold Coast so where are they going? Howeve a big twin like A330 would have to stretch REALLY hard to make it to the UK.

Enquiring minds want to know.

Cheers
