AirAsia will add flights for a limited period on the Osaka/Kansai–Taipei/Taoyuan–Kuala Lumpur route.
From November 22 through February 24, 2027, the airline will add two weekly round trips, departing Osaka/Kansai on Mondays and Wednesdays and Kuala Lumpur on Wednesdays and Sundays, for a total of nine weekly round trips. Airbus A321neo aircraft will be used.
From October 25, operations on this route will be transferred from AirAsia X to AirAsia, with the aircraft downsized from an Airbus A330-300 to an Airbus A321neo. Nonstop flights will continue to be operated by AirAsia X.
In addition, the Fukuoka–Taipei/Taoyuan–Kota Kinabalu route and the Osaka/Kansai–Kaohsiung route will switch to Airbus A321neo operations for the winter schedule, increasing seat capacity.
