Tony Fernandes, CEO of Capital A (formerly AirAsia Group), has disclosed plans for launching flights to regional cities in Japan.
During an interview held on the sidelines of the ‘World Airline Awards 2024’ by the aviation rating agency Skytrax in Windsor, outside of London, UK, Fernandes revealed these plans.
“It’s challenging to fill secondary destinations like Nagoya and Hiroshima with large aircraft, but it’s feasible with narrow-body long-haul aircraft. Our plan is to reach all cities in Japan and connect them with Bangkok, Bali, Phuket, and Indonesia. There’s a lot we can do,” he stated.
Furthermore, “If the world’s airlines are focusing on major cities like Tokyo and Osaka, we want to provide opportunities to use direct flights for those who can’t currently use them,” he continued, specifically naming Kobe, Hiroshima, Nagoya, and Sendai as targets.
