AirAsia Malaysia chief executive officer Riad Asmat

GEORGE TOWN: AirAsia is looking at re-establishing its hub in Penang on the back of strong demand for direct flights to the island regionally.

AirAsia Malaysia chief executive officer (CEO) Riad Asmat said despite the overwhelming demand from other countries in the region for direct flights to Penang, the airline’s capacity is limited with only two aircraft operating from the island currently.
