    AirAsia X Receives FAA Clearance to Launch Flights to USA

    AirAsia X has received clearance from the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) to fly to any destination in the the US, making its foray into an entirely new market as it looks beyond the Asia Pacific.
    “The airline is the first Asian low-cost carrier to secure approval to operate scheduled passenger flights to the US,” it said on Tuesday.

    AirAsia X is considering flights to several US states including Hawaii as part of its route expansion plans.

    Its group CEO Datuk Kamarudin Meranun said this was a major milestone for AirAsia X.

    “Our expansion up until now has concentrated on Asia, Australasia and the Middle East, and we are excited about our first foray into an entirely new market as we look beyond Asia Pacific.

    "I'm confident travellers will respond well to our award-winning service and the kind of connectivity we can offer with our Fly-Thru product. As part of our expansion plans, we are also looking to resume our very popular London route, and are working towards securing the necessary approvals."

    Kamarudin said none of this would be possible without its Allstars, especially group chief operating officer Anaz Ahmad Tajuddin, who passed away two weeks ago.

    “We wouldn't be where we are today if he had not laid the foundations with his blood, sweat and tears, and his bravery in the face of cancer showed us the true meaning of strength. This is for you, Anaz."

    Fly-Thru allows guests to seamlessly connect to anywhere within AirAsia's wide network with just one stop at Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia - Asia's No. 1 low-cost carrier hub - and other convenient transit hubs in Thailand and Indonesia, without having to pass through immigration and with their baggage checked through to the final destination.

    To add to that US airlines accuse Emirates of violating aviation agreement.

    On the 23rd of January, Emirates – world’s largest long-haul airline – announced its newest Dubai-Newark route with a stop in Athens, Greece. This development triggered an immediate response from US airlines that blame the Dubai-based carrier of unfair competition due to state subsidies.
    The Dubai-Athens-New Ark route, along with the already operated Dubai-Milan-New York route is what is called a “fifth freedom” flight. This means that the carrier is granted permission to carry revenue traffic between foreign countries as part of services connecting the carrier’s home country. Emirates plans on starting Dubai-Athens-New Ark flights on the 12th of March.
    According to Open & Fair Skies, a lobby group representing many US airlines, Emirates is breaching the air services agreement that makes it possible for the company to operate US-bound routes. US carriers have accused the big three Middle Eastern airlines – Etihad, Qatar and Emirates – of benefiting from subsidies that their US counterparts see as unfair.
    “By flagrantly violating its Open Skies agreement with the United States at the start of the Trump administration, Emirates is throwing down the gauntlet,” said Jill Zuckman, chief spokesperson for the Partnership for Open & Fair Skies. “We look forward to working with President Trump and his team to enforce these agreements and protect American jobs – something that the Obama administration failed to do.”
    However, according to aviation analyst Will Horton quoted by Reuters, American carriers lack arguments for protesting the new route, as none of them fly to Greece all year round. Another counter-argument would be the fact that Emirates is a major Boeing operator, which goes against the claims that Emirates is negatively affecting US jobs.
