BANGKOK, Aug 9 — Thai AirAsia X is set to fly to Europe by the end of this year or early next year, said AirAsia group chief executive officer, Tan Sri Tony Fernandes.

He said the long-haul low-cost airline is applying for approval from the relevant authorities, adding that the flights to Europe will commence from Bangkok.

“Don Mueang International Airport has been very supportive,” he told a press conference here today.

It was reported that AirAsia X plans to use the Airbus A330-900neo aircraft for the flights to Europe, starting with the Kuala Lumpur-London route.

Fernandes said Thai AirAsia is expected to receive the aircraft next week.

At least this is ex-BKK, better than flying in the wrong direction to KL first.

And they quit because they weren't making any money.
