TOKYO (Reuters) - Malaysia's AirAsia, the first international budget carrier to fly to Tokyo's Haneda airport, plans to kick off service with $58 flights between Tokyo and Kuala Lumpur and said it could expand to three more Japanese airports.

In a move that could pour fuel on increasing price competition over Japan's skies, the 5,000 yen flights are on offer from December until July next year, after which prices will start at 10,000 yen ($116), with premium lie-flat seats costing 48,000 yen.
