AirAsia has rapidly expanded its domestic and international network since its rebranding as a low-cost carrier in 2001. The airline's primary hub is located at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA), where it operates a substantial portion of its flights. AirAsia operates a broad domestic network within Malaysia, connecting numerous cities and regional hubs across the country. Key destinations include major cities like Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Kota Kinabalu and Kuching.
Internationally, AirAsia operates numerous routes across Southeast Asia and beyond, offering destinations in countries such as Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, Singapore and mainland China. The airline has also expanded into other regions, including India and Australia. This broad network has enabled AirAsia to become a significant player in the regional and international aviation markets, catering to both business and leisure travelers.
In addition to its primary operations at KLIA’s low-cost terminal, AirAsia (Malaysia) has developed secondary hubs to enhance regional connectivity. These hubs include Penang International Airport which acts as a gateway in northern Peninsular Malaysia, Kota Kinabalu International Airport and Kuching International Airport facilitating travel in Malaysian Borneo and Senai International Airport in Johor Bahru, which serves the southern region of Peninsular Malaysia and provides convenient access to and from Singapore. Together, these hubs play a vital role in supporting AirAsia’s extensive network, ensuring that the airline can efficiently serve its domestic and international markets.
