AIRASIA X (AAX) has announced that it will be resuming its commercial service post pandemic between Kuala Lumpur (KL) and Sydney starting Feb 14, 2022.
While AAX guests may reinstate their flight booking and utilise their credit account to book the flights, the airline will be prioritising full redemptions for passengers affected by the restructuring.
Moreover, from Feb 14, 2022 to March 22, 2022, the flights will be flown weekly on Mondays from KL to Sydney, returning on Tuesdays.
“Following our travel downtime over the last two years, and the recent completion of our restructuring process, we are thrilled to be able to relaunch and commence our gradual return to the skies.
“Without any domestic routes, AAX has been significantly affected by the pandemic. We are working hard to operate again in all of our key markets, as one of the world’s leading low cost medium haul operators.
“Starting with flights to and from Sydney, we will progressively continue to honour outstanding bookings and credit accounts for our guests and creditors in other markets as soon as possible,” said AAX CEO Benyamin Ismail.
Additionally, the autumn/winter session schedule will be released in mid-February.
Moving on, Economy fares start at RM1,399 one way all-inclusive or travellers may upgrade to AAX’s Premium Flatbed for RM3,999 while from Sydney to KL fare starts at A$399 and A$1,299 one way all-inclusive.
According to AAX chief operating officer Captain Suresh Kumar Bangah, AAX have been very active on all cargo flights throughout the pandemic.
“For the first time, we are adding on passengers to supplement cargo revenue in our push to be a major combination carrier in this part of the world. While take up will be gradual, it can only get better in the coming months as more people return to the skies. We are ready for that pent up demand,” he added. – Feb 2, 2022
