AirAsia X Schedules Its New Longest Airbus A330 Route To Nairobi

The expectation has become a reality. In the latest filing to OAG and Cirium, AirAsia X has scheduled flights from Kuala Lumpur to Nairobi. Set to begin in November, it will be the carriers longest route. It will replace Kuala Lumpur to Jeddah by distance, although longer routes existed historically. It will be AirAsia Xs first time on the African mainland, although it served the island nation of Mauritius in 2016 and 2017.
