AirAsia X Bhd (AAX) has decided that operating ultra-long haul flights are not relevant for now, said AirAsia Bhd group chief executive officer Tan Sri Tony Fernandes.


He pointed to the popular Kuala Lumpur-London route where a price war has broken out among airlines, adding that the low-cost long-haul affiliate of AirAsia won't join the competition by mounting flights to the destination.


"We have decided that ultra-long haul (flights) are not relevant now. (We) won't get seduced into price wars over London," Fernandes wrote in one tweet.


In another message, he tweeted: "We let the full service guys fight it out over Europe. Many of them bleeding so so much." He was referring to full service carriers currently operating flights from Kuala Lumpur to Europe.
