AirAsia X to Be Renamed AirAsia From Jan. 19, Founder Says

AirAsia X Bhd. will be renamed AirAsia from Jan. 19 as low-cost carrier AirAsia reaches the final stages of its restructuring to consolidate all aviation businesses under a single entity, according to its founder Tony Fernandes.

“AirAsia will be one airline group and one brand,” Fernandes said in a Linkedin post on Tuesday. AirAsia X — which currently only operates long-haul AirAsia flights — is currently in the midst of completing its 6.8 billion ringgit ($1.7 billion) acquisition of short-haul aviation businesses from sister company Capital A Bhd.
