The (Malaysian) government is blocking Air Asia X from starting new services from Kuala Lumpur to Sydney and Seoul - two of Malaysia Airlines' most lucrative routes.

By contrast, Air Asia X is about to increase services between Kuala Lumpur and Melbourne to twice daily, charging regularly available fares of $600-$800 return and sales fares as little as $100 one-way."

  Boo to Australian government for blocking Singapore Airlines from operating Sydney to Los Angeles? :P

  Well. Governments do what the governments do. It's just sad that all the bargain hunters miss out.
