AirAsia X has commenced service to Xi’an—its fifth destination in China after Hangzhou, Chengdu, Beijing, and Shanghai—with four flights weekly from Kuala Lumpur. Home to Emperor Qin Shihuangdi’s terra-cotta soldiers and once a major stop on the ancient Silk Road, Xi’an is one of China’s most visited cities, and with its addition to AirAsia X’s route map, the low-cost carrier now expects to fly more than one million passengers between Kuala Lumpur and China this year.
