AirAsia X to Launch KL - Adelaide Flights

AirAsia X will launch flights between Adelaide and Kuala Lumpur on  30th October 2013.

Adelaide will be AirAsia X’s fifth Australian destination after the Gold Coast, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney.

The new route will be operated by Airbus A330-300 aircraft with a seating capacity of 377.

“We are thrilled to announce that AirAsia X is finally jetting into Adelaide, which means now every Adelaidian can fly to South East Asia and beyond and vice versa,” said AirAsia X CEO, Azran Osman-Rani. “Australia is one of our core markets where AirAsia X will see its wings expand and the Adelaide route has been a priority. Our goal since launching our first Australian service on the Gold Coast in 2007 was to operate in the five major states, and we are proud to have accomplished this within six years ... We are very excited to finally touch down in South Australia and bring some much needed competition to the skies.”

AirAsia X will increase its flight frequencies to daily services during peak periods between December and February from Kuala Lumpur.
