If this is really the case, then we have another option than AirAsia. Nevertheless, AirAsia has been offering a good deal to Australia. KUALA LUMPUR, June 9 (Bernama) -- Australian budget airline Jetstar Airways, a subsidiary of Qantas Airways Ltd, is looking at making a comeback to Kuala Lumpur, according to chief executive officer Alan Joyce. Jetstar withdrew its Sydney to Kuala Lumpur service in September last year due to the high fuel prices. "Jetstar would be keen on a comeback at some stage. We withdrew the Kuala Lumpur service to grow the Japanese operation," he told reporters on the sidelines of the 65th International Air Transport Association (IATA) annual general meeting (AGM), here today. Asked when Jetstar may make the comeback, Joyce said: "It depends on the economic environment and when an aircraft is available. It is not an immediate plan, but something that Jetstar would like to do in the future." Via Bernama
