AirAsia’s rescue flight to Wuhan is on the house

AirAsia’s rescue flight to Wuhan is on the house

Thai AirAsia considers its flight to Wuhan, China, on Saturday (February 1) to collect the Thais stranded there a humanitarian mission and will absorb all costs.

AirAsia Group chief executive Tony Fernandes wrote to Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha on Friday, saying the airline was ready to help repatriate the Thais.
They have thus far been unable to leave Wuhan because of China’s public-transport lockdown stemming from the 2019-nCoV coronavirus outbreak that began in that central city.

Kuala Lumpur-based AirAsia is one of two airlines normally with direct flights to Wuhan, the other being Lion Air.
