AirAsia, a low cost carrier from Malaysia, has announced that it will officially inaugurate the Hanoi-Kuala Lumpur air route on October 4.

This is the first direct air route between Hanoi and Kuala Lumpur to be launched by AirAsia, which offers airfare prices ranging from US$29 to US$110. Every day, AirAsia conducts one flight from Kuala Lumput to Hanoi at 17:05 (local time) and another from Hanoi to Kuala Lumpur at 20:00 hrs (local time).

President of AirAsia Group Tony Fernandes said the airfares are quite competitive compared with those of other airlines, especially traditional ones. He expressed his hope that AirAsia will increase Hanoi-Kuala Lumpur flights to two per day and its ticket price will be reduced to US$9.99 once its market share increases. He said the airline will open the Ho Chi Minh City-Kuala Lumpur service in the near future.

AirAsia now has a fleet of 36 Boeing 737s and 11 Airbus A320s.
