AirAsia X to fly direct to Tehran from KL and Bangkok

AirAsia X Bhd and Thai AirAsia X have announced Tehran as their newest destination, adding to their route network by connecting Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok directly to the Iranian capital. This move comes at an opportune time, with Iran's growing economy and Tehran's status as a bustling business city, especially following the recent lifting of sanctions, which has opened up exciting new possibilities for tourism in Iran.

Benyamin Ismail, CEO of AirAsia X, highlighted the potential of Tehran as a strategic destination for both business and leisure travelers. He emphasized the role of direct flights in strengthening bilateral relations and promoting trade and tourism between Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, and Tehran.

To mark the launch of this new route, AirAsia X is offering promotional fares starting from RM299 for economy seats and RM999 for Premium Flatbeds departing from Kuala Lumpur. These promotional fares provide an attractive opportunity for travelers to explore Tehran and experience the convenience of direct flights between these major ASEAN cities and the Iranian capital.
