“Australia is one of our key markets and we are delighted to restore our service to the country and reconnect our customers between Sydney and Kuala Lumpur with great fares,” said Benyamin Ismail, CEO of AirAsia X. “We would also like to applaud the Australian government for expediting the visa process for tourists to strengthen the travel and tourism industry, and thank the Malaysian government for reopening the border without restrictions, which will boost welcome thumbs up to the country’s economic recovery. As we return to the skies, we will continue to review our network and meet growing demand in our core markets with additional new season services being added to the schedule in the near future. We hope that this resumption of service will not only benefit our customers, but also the tourism industry of both countries as a whole.
Australia remains a key market for the AirAsia X group. Thai AirAsia X, the long-haul sister airline affiliate of AirAsia X, also recently confirmed that it will launch new direct services from Suvarnabhumi Int. Airport (BKK) near Bangkok to Melbourne and Sydney, starting December 1 and 2, 2022, respectively.
