Air Asia Increases MEL and GC Frequencies

From 3 February 2010, AirAsia is to increase its frequencies between Kuala Lumpur and Melbourne from eleven to twelve flights weeks weekly. AirAsia X general manager Australia Darren Wright said despite the difficult economic climate, the Melbourne route continued to show strong growth for AirAsia.

“The Kuala-Lumpur – Melbourne route has been particularly popular for us and it shows no signs of weakening any time soon,” he said. “This new service will give passengers better two-way connectivity by reducing transit times when connecting to further destinations and beyond including London, China and the Middle East and other routes serviced by AirAsia’s growing network.”

In further signs of growth for AirAsia X the airline is also adding an additional service to its Kuala Lumpur – Gold Coast route taking frequency on that route to daily flights effective 6 February 2010.
