MALAYSIAN budget carrier AirAsia X will start direct flights between Perth and Kuala Lumpur from November.

The services to the Malaysian capital will start with six flights per week, increasing to daily services by March 2009.

AirAsia X chief executive officer Azran Osman-Rani said the flights were the result of a collaborative effort between the Western Australian Government, Perth Airport and AirAsia X.

“The resolve and dedication of each of these parties to bring about the launch of this new route is testimony to the strength of the relationships that have been forged and the benefits this will bring to travellers,” he said.

The deal could inject nearly $100 million into the Western Australian economy in the first year of service, WA Tourism Minister Sheila McHale said.

The Perth service is the airline's second destination to Australia, after its Gold Coast-KL service.

The carrier, which has a network of 90 routes across South-East Asia and China, plans to start direct flights between KL and London next year.

AirAsia X said that, from tomorrow, it would offer introductory one-way flights from Perth to Kuala Lumpur for $99, for travel between November 3, 2008, and April 30, 2009.

It said this offer was a taste of its assault on budget international travel.
