Malaysian’s budget carrier AirAsia Group has said that it plans to launch its first flights serving Japan by the end of the year. The flight will be operated by AirAsia X, the long-distance arm of AirAsia, to serve between Kuala Lumpur’s new Low-Cost Terminal in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia’s capital and Tokyo Haneda Airport, at a frequency of 3 flights weekly. It hopes to increase the frequency making it a daily service. The Japanese government has already allotted landing and takeoff slots to AirAsia X at Haneda airport, soon to open its International terminal building end of the year.]]> http://www.tokyohaneda.com/industry-news/airlines/the-much-awaited-arrival-of-low-cost-carrier-in-japan-airasia-x-will-soon-fly-to-haneda/feed/ 0 http://www.tokyohaneda.com/industry-news/tourism/new-chitose-airport-to-increase-overseas-traffic-starting-in-summer-this-year/ http://www.tokyohaneda.com/industry-news/tourism/new-chitose-airport-to-increase-overseas-traffic-starting-in-summer-this-year/#comments Mon, 11 Jan 2010 14:24:25 +0000 moderator http://www.tokyohaneda.com/?p=2665 The announcement came on January 8 from the Minister for Land Infrastructure Transport and Tourism, Sapporo, New Chitose Airport will open up its landing and take-off slot for foreign carriers currently only allowed on Wednesday between 11:20am and 1:50pm to both Tuesday and Wednesday, with a wider time slot, between 12:00noon and 4:00pm, allowing it to cater a higher number of foreign carriers to use this airport.
