AirAsia X pulls out of Europe, India

Malaysian long-haul budget carrier AirAsia X announced plans to scrap unprofitable routes to Europe and India as it prepares for a planned flotation, citing weak demand and a row over European Union emissions charges.
The decision to scale back will affect flights to Mumbai from January, while services to New Delhi, London and Paris will cease in March.
AirAsia X said customers who hold bookings after these dates would be offered an alternative travel option at no additional cost.
"AirAsia X will concentrate capacity in our core markets of Australasia, China, Taiwan, Japan and Korea," the carrier said.
