The extra airplane in FY18F will probably be utilized to include frequencies existing courses, travel to new Japanese urban areas, and conceivably open up Taiwan.

In FY19F, CIMB Exploration anticipates that TAAX will take conveyance of another two rented flying machine, and make a more grounded push into China, where it right now flies just to Shanghai, and furthermore to investigate the practicality of traveling to Eastern Europe, where there is dormant interest for Thai occasions.

From FY20F onwards, TAAX and MAAX, will most likely start taking conveyance of the gathering's A330-900neo requests.

Indonesia AirAsia X (IAAX) is a low need for the AAX gathering, with just breakeven brings about 4Q17 and 1Q18.

IAAX made extensive misfortunes on its Sydney/Melbourne courses from Bali, which were suspended in September 2016.

In May 2017, it propelled Bali-KL-Mumbai and Bali-Tokyo Narita; while the last did well, the previous was ceased in late-April 2018 and supplanted with Jakarta-Tokyo Narita flights.
