Ian McCool, managing director of IAM, the airline's Irish GSSA, welcomed the move. “Ireland’s continuing focus on airfreightable commodities such as pharmaceuticals means that every new carrier and destination is welcomed. The market was therefore very receptive to Air Asia X, " he said.
IAM has represented Air Asia X since March 2009 when the airline began now daily long-haul services from London Stansted to Kuala Lumpur.
AirAsia and Air Asia X operate over 400 flights daily from hubs in Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia with 78 Airbus A320, A330 and A340.
