Malaysia-based low-cost carrier AirAsia X is following through on its previous signals that Hawaii and Europe routes will be added to its network as part of its new business plan.
This week, the carrier filed an application with the U.S. Transportation Department (DOT) to launch a one-stop service to Honolulu, and executives also said they are moving ahead with efforts to fly to an unnamed European destination.
