AirAsia X poised for Stansted-Australia debut

Wednesday, 27 Mar, 2008 0

Low cost return flights between Australia and UK are on the horizon with AirAsia X planning to enter the ‘kangaroo route’. 

The long haul low cost carrier plans a Gold Coast-Kuala Lumpur-London service later this year, and a second Australian destination from October.

The carrier, in which Virgin Group has a 20% stake, aims to offer regular fares between Australia and UK for under £500. 

Kuala Lumpur-Stansted services are due to commence by the end of the year with two leased A340s.

AirAsia X is to announce a second Australian destination by May, with services from Kuala Lumpur in October, with a third Australian destination from early 2009.

“Active discussions” are taking place to serve Melbourne, although other cities bidding aggressively to attract fights by the Malaysian carrier.
