A new travel connection has been established between the Northern Territory and Malaysia following AirAsia Malaysia’s announcement of its non-stop service from Darwin to Kuala Lumpur, that was made possible with an undisclosed amount of taxpayer funds.
This service will see nearly 100,000 additional seats annually on the route, the government said. The inaugural flight is set for June 27, with four-weekly return flights scheduled every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday on AirAsia’s Airbus aircraft.
The obsession with secrecy and a lack of transparency in not telling tax payers how much AirAsia has been subsidised
by the Northern Territory Government for the nearly 100,000 additional seats annually is substandard by the Northern Territory Government.
