AirAsiaX chief executive Asran Osman-Rani was in Australia over the long weekend for talks with Victorian airport officials and to check out Newcastle airport in New South Wales.The long-haul offshoot of successful low-cost carrier AirAsia plans to start flying to Victoria about October after the first of up to 25 new Airbus A330-300 aircraft is delivered.
The airline is currently flying to the Gold Coast using a leased aircraft and offers fares to Kuala Lumpur as low as $199 one-way.
Australia - Kuala Lumpur for $200 sounds mighty good to me. Hopefully with the increase of low-cost airlines, especially here in Australia, it will help get more people out of the house, off the beaten track, and onto an Adventure!
