AirAsia X to launch KL - Tokyo Haneda flights
KUALA LUMPUR (Nikkei)--Budget Malaysian carrier AirAsia Bhd said Tuesday that it plans to launch its first flights serving Japan by the end of the year, selling one-way tickets between Kuala Lumpur and Tokyo for as low as 14,000 yen.Operated by AirAsia X, AirAsia's long-distance airline, the flights between Kuala Lumpur International Airport and Tokyo's Haneda airport will begin at a pace of three per week. But the company aims to ramp up to seven flights as soon as possible, AirAsia Chief Executive Officer Tony Fernandes told The Nikkei.
The flights are expected to use Airbus SAS' A330 aircraft. The Japanese government has already allotted landing and takeoff slots to AirAsia X at Haneda.
At present, the cheapest round-trip airfares for Japan-Malaysia flights sell for more than 40,000 yen. Saying that the one-way fare for its flights will likely cost less than a cab ride from Tokyo to Narita International Airport, Fernandes expressed his confidence in the service's success.Read more:

The price should make the difference in low altiture areas ....
The altitude sickness should start then.....
Flying miles is grounded to the customer when the weather is satis-fact-tory......
Ummm... isn't that city Singapore?
Dear Casper!
You might be right! I took that from a Google image search for Kuala Lumpur and that photo is the first result!!!! Another search for Singapore shows the same photo.
As my beliefs are that honesty s the best policy... I will admit my mistake and put a photo up that I am sure is Malayasia.
Thanks Casper! Forgive me proud people of Malaysia and Singapore!
