Australia's Northern Territory is a leading nature and culture destination where Australia's Outback meets the tropics and is home to Australia's most dramatic, beautiful and varied scenery including the awe-inspiring red centre icons of Uluru, Kata Tjuta and Kings Canyon.
DARWIN – Darwin will be a more attractive holiday proposition for UK visitors thanks to the reintroduction of flights via Kuala Lumpur to Darwin with Malaysia Airlines from the 1st November.
Fleur Burrows Regional Manager for Tourism Northern Territory says: “The reintroduction of the services via Kuala Lumpur to Darwin confirms the Northern Territory as an even more viable gateway for visitors from the UK and Europe. We expect more visitors to choose Darwin as their point of entry to Australia as it is just five hours’ flying time from Kuala Lumpur. The new route has the potential to deliver an additional 800 visitors to Darwin each week.”
The new full service flight will be operated by the Boeing 737-800, offering both business and economy cabins. Visitors will also benefit from a wider global network thanks to Malaysia Airlines’ membership of the Oneworld alliance.
In addition, the expansion of Darwin Airport will see it double in size to meet increased capacity demands.
Capital of the Northern Territory, Darwin is Australia’s most northerly city, making it the natural gateway to both the Outback and the country as a whole. Located just five hours’ flight from Kuala Lumpur and two hours from Bali, it is considered to be Australia’s most cosmopolitan and diverse city boasting a lifestyle centred around the outdoors, given its fantastic climate, from al fresco dining and sunsets to beachside markets and sailing.
