BackpackersXpress was a proposed airline to have been based in Melbourne, Australia. It was established in 2003 and sought to start a long-haul, low-fares operation using two dry-leased Boeing 747 aircraft. Proposed destinations included Delhi, Bangkok, Munich and Manchester.[1] The company failed to gain regulatory approval for its proposed routes and did not take delivery of any aircraft. It shut down in 2005 before conducting any flights.
