AUSTRALIA/NEW ZELAND, 11 September 2023 - Asia’s low fare leader for medium haul international air travel, AirAsia X (AAX), reaffirms its commitment to providing the very best in terms of safe, affordable and reliable air travel for its Australian and Kiwi guests. 

Following the recent (finder.com.au) survey announced earlier this week - highlighting that more than a third of Australians or more than 7 million people, have chosen to fly with a low cost airline in the past 12 months, AAX continues to play its part to make flying affordable and convenient to access over 130 destinations across Asia. 

Benyamin Ismail, CEO of AirAsia X said: “We know our Kiwi and Australian guests are doing it tough right now with increasing pressures on cost of living, but they also want to get away on an international flight which can still fit their budget. Asia offers a world of cultural and diverse experiences that won’t break the bank. 

“From Australia and NZ AirAsia X connects to over 130 destinations in Asia including leisure favourites like Malaysia, India, Thailand, Indonesia, Japan, Singapore, Vietnam, Cambodia and the Philippines to name just a few.”

“For AAX, low cost doesn’t mean low service. We aim to offer the best low cost high quality experience in the sky with a range of options to suit everyone’s budget - from economy to a lie flat Premium Flatbed for a fraction of the cost of a business class seat on a full service airline, or in our other exclusive Quiet Zone, we offer consistently the best deals in market to ensure our guests downunder can still afford that much needed getaway tailored to their needs.”
