Sydney to KL flights good news for all travelers in the region.

With AirAsiaX daily trips from Sydney to Kuala Lumpur beginning April 2nd, travelers are expected to benefit from the overall drop in plane fares in the region as more competition hits the aviation industry. Air Asia has launched the new Syd-KL service with an introductory $99 one-way fare. Scoot, the budget carrier of Singapore Airlines are planning to also offer less expensive fares from Singapore to Sydney.

The Malaysian government initially blocked the Sydney-KL route to protect Malaysian Air from competition posed by the budget carrier, but eventually gave AirAsiaX permission.

For regional and especially Australian travellers, it opens the door for more affordable flights to other Asian destinations such as Bangkok, Jakarta, Surabaya, Medan and Ho Chi Minh using AirAsiaX’s Flu-Thru transfer service. The service permits travellers to buy two flight sectors and transfer easily to their final destinations via KL. www.airasia.com
