Tokyo: Kuala Lumpur-based discount airline Air Asia plans to launch flight services to Japan in 2009, 

According to a report in the Jiji Press, this was disclosed by the visiting AirAsia chief executive officer Datuk Seri Tony Fernandes  at a press conference. 

Fernandes said that the Japanese market has tremendous potential, and AirAsia intends to help increase the number of Malaysian tourists to Japan. Reports suggest that AirAisa is looking to discount its airfares for Japan-bound flights by around 50 to 60 per cent to those offered by major airlines.

Celebrating the launch of flights to Japan, AirAsia plans to offer $25 one-way tickets for flights between Japan and Malaysia, and is considering launching flights to Tokyo International Airport at Haneda and to an airport now under construction in Ibaraki Prefecture, northeast of Tokyo.

AirAsia also plans to launch services to major Japanese cities as Sapporo, Nagoya, Osaka and Fukuoka.
