AirAsia considers serving Kunming, Wuhan or Xi'an, a new group of Chinese cities for Asian LCCs

The AirAsia Group's intention to begin serving mainland China's Kunming, Wuhan or Xi'an would mark the first service to any of those cities from Asia's major low-cost carrier groups: AirAsia, Jetstar and Scoot/Tiger Airways (both part of the Singapore Airlines group). Compared to other mainland destinations served by AirAsia, Jetstar and Tiger, the second-tier cities of Kunming, Wuhan and Xi'an have comparable or higher international capacity. International carriers serving these cities are primarily full service, and all from North or Southeast Asia, with the exception of Air France's service to Wuhan.

The AirAsia and Jetstar Groups currently serve the same number of mainland destinations. A new destination from AirAsia would represent the group's eighth mainland destination.
