AirAsia X Resumes Flights Between Kuala Lumpur and Beijing, China

(03/04/23)  AirAsia X (AAX) has resumed flights between Kuala Lumpur and Beijing, China.

The airline is operating the route to Beijing Daxing International Airport with two flights per week using Airbus A330 aircraft.

The service resumption will stimulate business travel and tourism in both directions, with the potential surge in demand for international travel to China following its recent decision to begin reissuing tourist visas.

Flight D7342 from KUL is scheduled to take off every Thursday and Saturday at 18:40, arriving at PKX at 01:05 the following day.

Flight D7343 from Beijing is timed to leave every Friday and Sunday at 02:15, arriving at KUL at 08:30.

“Our service resumption to Beijing reflects our commitment to boosting our network in China, which has historically always been one of our biggest and most popular markets and providing our guests with more options to travel affordably from/to Kuala Lumpur, said Benyamin Ismail, AirAsia X Malaysia CEO. “We are also looking at ramping up the frequency to four weekly flights starting 1st June 2023 to meet growing forecast demand, further boosting exchanges between the world’s second largest economy and ADEAN, and the region’s tourism recovery. More expansion in China is on the horizon for AAX as we plan to relaunch more routes and introduce more unique, less travelled destinations in China in the near future.”
