          AirAsia confirms Avalon Airport as new access to Melbourne

          Melbourne, capital of Victoria in Australia, will have a second international airport later this year when Malaysian low-cost carrier AirAsia X moves its operations to Avalon Airport.

          The move was confirmed during a joint announcement at the airport on 4th February 2018.

          AirAsia X Malaysia will operate twice daily flights as the first international carrier at the airport. The move is expected to reduce the cost of long-haul flights for residents of Melbourne and nearby centres.

          It will also improve access to onward destinations in Asia and beyond.

          Up to 500,000 international passengers are projected to move through Avalon Airport in the first year of operations.

          AirAsia X flights will continue to operate from Melbourne (Tullamarine Airport) until flights from Avalon Airport are operational later this year.

          Why move to Avalon Airport?

          There is obviously a cost benefit in this move.

          This was alluded to by AirAsia Group CEO Tony Fernandes when he thanked Avalon for supporting AirAsia in helping all travellers through
