AirAsia has unveiled plans to launch flights
between Kuala Lumpur and Okinawa Naha, Japan.
The four times weekly service via Taipei
is scheduled to commence on 22 January 2020, subject to regulatory
approvals.
The route will be AirAsia’s sixth international
destination in Japan, after Tokyo (Haneda and Narita), Osaka,
Sapporo, Fukuoka and Nagoya (via Bangkok).
AirAsia X Malaysia CEO, Benyamin Ismail, said,
“Our rapid expansion into Japan continues following the launch of
services to Fukuoka and Tokyo Narita earlier this year. Okinawa is
an island paradise that offers a different Japanese experience for
leisure travellers, including white sandy beaches with clear blue
waters, some of the world’s most famous diving spots and unique Ryukyuan cuisine. Like Fukuoka, we are building the foundation
for more AirAsia flights to serve Okinawa in the near future,
strengthening our regional network and allowing more travellers to
discover the unique cultural heritage of this amazing
destination.”
Travellers from Kuala Lumpur to Okinawa Naha are not
required to obtain a visa during their 75-minute
stopover in Taipei and may return to their seats after clearing a
quick security check of their carry-on bags and inflight
belongings.
