AirAsia X gets go-ahead for Thai operations

Announcing its preliminary operating statistics yesterday, the long-haul budget carrier said operating performance in the period trended slightly above expectations despite Q2 historically being the leanest quarter.

PETALING JAYA: AirAsia X Bhd associate Thai AirAsia X Co Ltd (TAAX) has received the Air Operator’s Certificate (AOC) from the Department of Civil Aviation of Thailand, clearing one of its final hurdles to begin operations in Thailand.

The company said the AOC would pave the way for TAAX to proceed with the application for operating permits and slots to its intended international routes.
