Locals Set To Benefit From Air Asia

LOCALS SET TO BENEFIT FROM AIRASIA X FLY THRU SERVICE
Gold Coast Airport has this week welcomed news from airline partner AirAsia X that fly thru services available from the 
Gold Coast have increased.
In a move which will see increased international access for residents of the Gold Coast and Northern Rivers regions, 
AirAsia X have announced a range of new fly thru sectors available from the Gold Coast.
Gold Coast Airport Chief Operating Officer Paul Donovan said the increased access is a great win for the local 
community.
“The fly thru service essentially means that AirAsia X passengers can enjoy the convenience of easy transit and 
connection between the Gold Coast and another flight via the Kuala Lumpur Low Cost Carrier Terminal without having to 
worry about checking in twice.
“The new services now mean that via Kuala Lumpur Gold Coast Airport passengers travelling with AirAsia X can fly to 
Chiang Mai, Phnom Penh, Hanoi, Shenzen, Clark (Manila) and Bandung with ease.
“AirAsia X has opened up an exciting world of low-cost international travel options to the community and we continue to 
work pro-actively with them to fill existing capacity,” Mr Donovan said.
AirAsia X Australian Marketing Manager Stuart Myerscough said the airline is pleased to offer this additional service to 
passengers.
“We are pleased to make this change as it will improve connectivity to other points across our network from our main 
hub in Kuala Lumpur.
“There are many convenient onward connections available during the morning and afternoon from Kuala Lumpur and 
this will certainly help our Gold Coast passengers with further travel options.”
AirAsia X have proven to be an airline of choice for Gold Coasters and Northern Rivers residents since their inception in 2007 and currently operate a five times weekly service to Kuala Lumpur from Gold Coast Airport.
