AirAsia launches new secondary hub routes in Thailand

Malaysian low-cost carrier (LCC) AirAsia will launch new schedules to two new secondary hubs from mid-July.

The first is a 4X-weekly service from Kuala Lumpur’s KLIA2 to U-Tapao Airport on the eastern Bay of Thailand, which serves rapidly expanding holiday destination Pattaya. The second is from Singapore’s neighboring Johor Bahru to Bangkok’s Don Mueang LCC hub.

Subsidiary LCC Thai AirAsia has also announced plans to start international flights from U-Tapao by the end of the year, and to potentially make the airport its new connecting hub for flights to North Asia, including China.

Passenger records rough handling of luggage by AirAsia

KUCHING: Facebook user Wong Kee Hock has taken to social media to express his disgust at the way baggage handlers of AirAsia threw his luggage around, resulting in some of his belongings ending up broken.

The trainee at Hilton Kuching was shocked at the unprofessional handling of passengers’ baggage before his AK775 flight from Kuching to Singapore took off and decided to record it for the “world to see”.

The 1.39-minute video clip showed two employees at work, with one carelessly hurling passengers’ luggage and boxes into a waiting loading compartment.
