“AirAsia’s resumption of international flights has been highly anticipated by both the airline and its guests. With Malaysia and Thailand reopening and travel restrictions being lifted, AirAsia will be continually re-introducing international services, starting from April 2022. In this regard, India, Malaysia, and Thailand are countries with significant potential in terms of stimulating tourism and reigniting the economy. We believe that our flight resumption will bring great opportunity and support to the countries’ economic recovery,” said Manoj Dharmani, AirAsia’s Regional Commercial Head for India, Sri Lanka & Bangladesh.

India lifted its ban on international air routes on March 27, 2022. Since then various airlines and countries have been increasing the frequency of flights to manage the passenger inflow.
