AirAsia X celebrates first birthday with unbeatable airfares

3 November 2008,Malaysian-based airline AirAsia X is releasing a new round of great value travel deals for flights between Australia and Kuala Lumpur to celebrate its first anniversary.

AirAsia X touched down on the Gold Coast Airport tarmac November 3 2007 and since then has been well received from both Australian and Malaysian travellers.

In March this year AirAsia X announced its 100,000th passenger onboard and to date the popular low cost international carrier has welcomed more than 200,000 guests.

To mark its first birthday AirAsia X is offering one-way fares from the Gold Coast to Kuala Lumpur for $171* taxes and surcharges inclusive.

The celebratory fares coincide with the carrier’s inaugural flight to Perth which lands at Perth Airport’s international terminal at 2.40pm today (November 2).

AirAsia X has released birthday budget airfares for its Perth route and Melbourne, where the airline will start servicing as of November 12, 2008.

Passengers can fly from Perth to Kuala Lumpur with AirAsia X for $157* including taxes and charges and from Melbourne to Kuala Lumpur for $182*.

“The Gold Coast Airport, the local tourism industry and the travelling public have been very supportive of AirAsia X and we would like to acknowledge this by offering seats at unbeatable prices,” AirAsia X General Manager Australia Mr Darren Wright said.

“AirAsia X soon will be actively servicing three Australian destinations including the Gold Coast, Perth and Melbourne and we’re hoping the success we’ve enjoyed on the Gold Coast will be replicated at our two newest destinations.”

As of today AirAsia X passengers also will get to experience the carrier’s new wide-bodied Airbus A330 aircraft, which provides passengers with a level of service not normally expected from low-cost airlines.

AirAsia X’s new planes will feature the latest technology, fixed-backshell seats with trademark sleek black leather upholstery, in-flight entertainment featuring innovative content and applications and WI-FI access.
