AirAsia plans to make Kota Bharu Airport its new hub

AirAsia group CEO Tan Sri Tony Fernandes wants the airline to start international flights out of Kota Bharu Airport in Kelantan. "From Kota Bharu, we're going to start a flight to Medan. This will be the first international flight from Kota Bharu, and [we are planning to fly] to Singapore as well. We will also fly to Indochina from Kota Bharu, but I can't announce the place yet," he said.

Fernandes said that international flights from Kota Bharu Airport will start in 2014. "Just like Kota Kinabalu, Kota Bharu is underutilised. 

We see potential in Kota Bharu, Senai, which is now expanding, and potentially Kuantan." (Financial Daily)
