AirAsia X

AirAsia X is a low-cost long-haul airline operating from Malaysia. With Firefly Airlines launching in April 2007, there is a mushrooming of options for Malaysian passengers.

AirAsia X's first flights

Flights may commence as late as 2008. AirAsia X says that the main reason for the delay in launch is the lack of availability of long haul planes, caused by the A380's delay.
