Air Asia Boosts Aussie flights but Sydney misses out

AirAsia will operate twice-daily services between Melbourne and Kuala Lumpur from July 1 and between Perth and the Kuala Lumpur from August 1, the Malaysian-based airline said in a statement on Monday.

Adding more flights to make up for the lack of ex Sydney services...

Interesting spin, but shoud they not be "re-boosting" flights. Air Asia operated MEL-KUL double daily over summer. Not sure when it dropped back to single daily.

Of course SYD misses out. What appeal does SYD have for a destination except for high taxes and charges? And an idiotic curfew?

Budget Airline Offers Flat Bed seats on the cheap

AirAsia X chief executive officer Azran Osman-Rani said customer feedback indicated the airline needed to change its seats.

“We concede that the old seats were neither suitable nor comfortable for long-haul flights," he said.

The airline has also announced that its standard economy-class seats would also be revamped, with reclinable seats at 31-inch pitch.
