AirAsia X crossing trans-Tasman

04 August 2010

AirAsia X could be including flights between Australia and New Zealand by the end of the year but will not be catering to popular cities Melbourne and Sydney.

The Sydney Morning Herald reported the airline, which is 16 percent owned by AirAsia, is expected to designate flights from the Gold Coast and Perth to either Auckland or Christchurch.

Mr Osman-Rani said, "The airline would have a golden opportunity to enter the trans-Tasman market if Virgin Blue's proposed alliance with Air New Zealand resulted in the airlines shedding flights."
