AirAsia has ambitious plans of growing its network into Africa and Europe, and making its foray into North America in the coming years, shared Capital A CEO, Tony Fernandes. This will ultimately solidify Kuala Lumpur as the world’s leading low-cost carrier megahub. The airline was recently recognised by OAG’s 2024 Megahubs Index as the leading contributor to Kuala Lumpur International Airport’s status as the top global low-cost carrier megahub. In 2028, AirAsia aims to expand its network in the Middle East and to Europe and North America by 2030. Its newest service expansion on the cards will be four weekly direct flights from Kuala Lumpur to Nairobi on November 15, marking its entry into Africa.
