Malaysian low-cost airline AirAsia X is set to return to New Zealand in March with flights between Kuala Lumpur and Auckland. Currently, Malaysia Airlines is the only other airline that provides services on the route between the two cities.
In 2012, the 11-hour route from Kuala Lumpur to Christchurch was cancelled due to a drop in traffic. Although the company has been providing hints on its social media accounts for its new destination, they officially confirmed the news on January 12. Starting March this year, the airlines will extend its existing Airbus A3330-300 service between Kuala Lumpur and Gold Cost to Auckland.
Daily one-way flights from Auckland to Gold Cost are now available at an introductory offer priced at $99, and $249 from Auckland to Kuala Lumpur. The aircraft’s flatbed seats are also on sale and are priced at $249 to Gold Coast and $599 to Kuala Lumpur (one way).
The services will commence from March 22. Tickets went on sale on Wednesday and will be available for purchase until January 24 or until sold out.
Airfares are expected to fall down with this return with rival airlines Air New Zealand and JetStar already offering tickets at reduced prices in March.
