This seamless connection hub makes Kuala Lumpur a preferred transit point for Asia-bound and Europe-bound travelers from Australia.

- Support Malaysia’s tourism goals by attracting Australian visitors.
- Enhance business travel links between Queensland and Southeast Asia.
- Cater to the growing community of international students and expats in both regions.
