AirAsia returning to Europe later than expected, in 2018

AirAsia has announced that they will start flights connecting Asia and Europe in 2018.
The initial announcement said flights would start this month, but was allegedly just a marketing test of some kind. My guess is the flights will originate in the AirAsia hub of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and there's talk of flying into Russia and Barcelona, but it's all up in the air at this point. Ha ha ha get it?

Scoot Airlines, based in Singapore, hasn't released any recent news about their scheduled June 2017 flights to Athens, Greece, so no news is probably good news.


At the same time, with current Eurowings prices of $196 one-way for a bare-bones flight from Germany to Bangkok, AirAsia and Scoot might not end up with the cheapest flights on the market. Time will tell!
