Malaysia-Indonesia hybrid airline Malindo Air has received approval to fly to Perth and will begin service from Kuala Lumpur next month.
Australia becomes the eighth country on the carrier’s growing international route network.
It will operate up to 11 flights a week beginning November 11.
Malindo will use 180-seat Boeing 737 aircraft on the route, and at nearly six hours’ duration is the airline’s longest flight so far.
"Our international network development in the second half of 2015 supports our long-term vision to provide travellers with an extensive range of destinations and seamless connectivity from Kuala Lumpur as a regional hub," said Malindo Air chief executive officer Chandran Rama Muthy.
"Perth will expand our coverage and strengthen our customer proposition in the strategically important markets of Asia. We are very confident that this new service, our first to Australia, will boost travel and trade between Australia and Malaysia," he added.
