Last weekend Air Asia X CEO Azran Osman-Rani visited Port Lincoln with Tourism Minister Leon Bignall swimming with tuna and sea lions and checking out the local tourism operators with a big picture goal of working with them to package up holidays for visitors who fly Air Asia to Adelaide. Air Asia X announced last week that they would be starting a direct Kuala Lumpur to Adelaide route and has their sights firmly set on the Eyre Peninsula as a top tourist destination.
This announcement is great news for the local tourism economy meaning that the Eyre Peninsula will become more accessible and affordable to the Asian market.
