AirAsia X to Offer Seasonal Frequency Increases

Posted 02/08/2011

Long-haul, low-cost carrier AirAsia X is to add more flights from Kuala Lumpur to its destinations in  Australia (Melbourne, Gold Coast, Perth) and Taipei, Taiwan across different time frames between December 1, 2011 and January 31, 2012 to accommodate the demand for travellers during the peak holiday season.

“AirAsia X’s decision to increase our flight frequencies is timely with the holiday season and this shows our commitment to our guests as we are doing what we can to accommodate the high demand for our popular routes,” said Azran Osman-Rani, Chief Executive Officer, AirAsia X. “Guests who are looking forward to visit Australia during its summer season and Taipei during Chinese New Year have more flexibility in choosing their flight times and date with the boost in our flight frequencies during the peak period.”

The added frequencies will also provide guests within the AirAsia network and the AirAsia X long-haul destinations better connectivity options to Australia and Taiwan as the airline will increase flight frequencies to Melbourne from ten flights a week to twelve flights weekly, Gold Coast from five times a week to six flights weekly, Perth from daily flights weekly to ten flights weekly and Taipei from daily flights weekly to eleven weekly flights during the period.

 “The extra capacity would further offer additional flight options for guests aiming to book our Fly-thru services to the selected popular destinations from Europe, China, India, Singapore, Thailand, Hong Kong, Indonesia and Indochina and improve connections to Japan and Korea for the beginning of the ski season and to India when the weather is cooler,” added Azran Osman-Rani.
