Budget airline AirAsia was promoting cheap international flights in ad campaign saying it is cheaper than an SA holiday
BUDGET airline AirAsiaX has been asked to remove advertising that encourages people to travel abroad rather than to our South Australian regions.
One AirAsiaX promotion that has been featured on buses offers flights to Kuala Lumpur for less than a flight to Kangaroo Island.
Opposition Leader Steven Marshall said the advertising is "absolutely unacceptable".
"Our State Government spends millions of dollars each year promoting South Australian destinations yet they're having a go on the back of buses saying it's cheaper to fly to Asia than to go to Kangaroo Island," he said,.

"Well, quite frankly that's absolutely unacceptable."
Tourism Minister Leon Bignell said the Government had spoken to the airline and AirAsia X had agreed to remove them.

"The ads were not in the spirit of the Government's agreement with the airline and despite similar ads for South Australia running in Malaysia, they are being removed.
