"China has always been a cornerstone market for AirAsia and today we are proud to reaffirm our leadership position with the resumption of the Kuala Lumpur-Wuhan route," AirAsia Malaysia general manager, Dato’ Captain Fareh Mazputra, said. "When we first launched this route in 2017, it recorded strong two-way demand, with an average passenger load factor of more than 80%, reflecting its solid market potential." Sister carrier Thai AirAsia flies to Wuhan from Bangkok Don Mueang, while China Eastern Airlines is currently the only airline with nonstop flights between Wuhan and Kuala Lumpur.
