AirAsia X (AAX) Berhad has announced a pivotal step in its global expansion strategy by designating Bahrain as a key strategic hub. This move is set to bolster the airline’s medium-haul connectivity across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and Australia, marking a significant milestone in its international growth journey.
The decision to establish Bahrain as a strategic hub underscores AirAsia X’s commitment to expanding its network beyond Asia. By leveraging Bahrain’s geographical position, the airline aims to enhance its connectivity and offer more travel options to its passengers.
“Now, we are rebuilding with discipline – backed by a secured orderbook of 374 aircraft and counting, as well as a comprehensive five-year growth plan that will see us steadily cementing our footprint across the regions. Bahrain fits squarely into our long-term network blueprint to link ASEAN and Asia to the world,” Bo Lingam, Group CEO of AirAsia X, said.
This strategic expansion is expected to facilitate better access and connectivity between major regions, thereby strengthening AirAsia X’s presence in the global aviation market.
