Malaysian budget carrier AirAsia has scrapped fuel surcharges on all its flights including on long-haul carrier AirAsia X, in response to the decline in global oil prices, as well as giving away 500,000 free seats in an effort to drum up business.
AirAsia chief executive officer Tony Fernandes said the regional carrier’s fares will remain unchanged.
“We want to get rid of all surcharges and we have been able to… be the first airline in the world that is completely getting rid of fuel surcharges,” he told reporters.
AirAsia X opened a Perth-KL route on November 2 this year, to be followed shortly by Melbourne.
These two routes have been added on the back of the success of the Gold Coast route that opened in November last year.
