AirAsia X (AAX) has unveiled plans to expand its
medium-haul network by resuming direct services between Kuala
Lumpur and Amritsar in Northern India.
Scheduled to take off on 3 September 2023, the
airline will service the route with four flights per week.
As the second
destination to India after New Delhi, the Amritsar route will deliver an
additional annual capacity of 157,263 seats between the two cities for AAX.

“We are pleased to restart our direct
services to Amritsar, home to the world famous Golden Temple.
Amritsar holds a monumental cultural and religious significance
and this route not only provides the opportunity for our guests in
the region to visit the holy city affordably, but also for the
people in Amritsar to visit amazing holiday destinations with the
best value fares including to Perth, Melbourne, Bali, Bangkok and
more with our Fly-Thru service,” said Benyamin Ismail, AirAsia X Chief Executive Officer.
“The restart of this route
is also part of our efforts to strengthen AAX’s position in South
Asia, complementing our robust network in North Asia. We are
optimistic that this route relaunch will not only enhance our
medium-haul destination offering with affordable fares, but also
contribute to the overall business growth.”
Amritsar is one of the top destinations
in Punjab in the northwestern part of India, an area which is underserved
from the Asia Pacific region.
The city is home to Sikh’s most
sacred shrines, the Harmandir Sahib (Golden Temple), and has
plenty of historical monuments including Jallianwala Bagh, Wagah
Border and Gobindgarh Fort.
