Both Thai Airasia and Thai Airasia X are on aggressive expansion programmes this year. I am not sure if it is a good thing because elsewhere, many airlines are cutting back on their expansion plans. So, where are they going to find pax for their services? Maybe Thai Airasia X will start European routes and increase their Asian/Australian coverage. But they do need to balance that with not cannibalising Airasia X's traffic. It will be an interesting year!

KUALA LUMPUR, April 1 — AirAsia is offering promotional all-in-fares from RM99 to Quanzhou in Fujian, China, in conjunction with the launch of the new daily direct route from Kuala Lumpur commencing on May 1, 2019.
In a statement today, the low-cost carrier said that the promotion is only for AirAsia member fares for one-way travel inclusive of taxes.
AirAsia Malaysia chief executive officer Riad Asmat said the Kuala Lumpur-Quanzhou service further grows its footprint of unique destinations in China and provides greater accessibility to Malaysian and Chinese travellers.
“AirAsia has been championing connectivity to China’s secondary cities such as Guilin, Shantou and Nanning. As we continue to expand in China, we look forward to exploring opportunities to connect our other secondary hubs in Malaysia to China as well,” he said.

Malindo Air this week filed preliminary schedule for its planned 2nd route to Japan, where it plans to offer Kuala Lumpur – Taipei Taoyuan – Sendai service. Proposed schedule sees 737-800 aircraft operating twice weekly flights, from 01JUL19. Reservation is not available.

Malindo has committed to adding three 737-800s over the next few months. The airline is considering more additional 737-800s in 2H2019 but these have not yet been firmly decided.
All the additional aircraft are being transferred from Lion Group’s Indonesia-based full service airline Batik Air.
Malindo bases all its ATR 72s at Kuala Lumpur Subang, where it has seven domestic routes and one international route. Malindo has slashed its Subang capacity by 50% since late 2017 – from approximately 30,000 weekly one-way seats to 15,000 seats.Malindo’s total domestic seat capacity has been reduced by 33%: from 114,000 weekly seats in Mar-2017 to 76,000 weekly seats in Mar-2019 (based on OAG schedules data for the second week of March). International seat capacity has increased by a modest 5% over the same period, from 100,000 to 105,000 seats.
Malindo has shifted its focus to the more profitable international market but has also significantly slowed down its rate of international growth. Malindo’s international seat capacity reached an all-time high of 120,000 weekly seats during peak periods of 2018, while its domestic seat capacity peaked at 114,000 weekly seats in Dec-2016 and 1Q2017.
Malindo’s annual seat capacity in 2018 declined by approximately 7%, according to CAPA and OAG data. International seat capacity was still up by 10%, whereas domestic seat capacity dropped by 26%.
Not surprisingly, passenger traffic also declined in 2018. Malindo carried an estimated 6.7 million passengers in 2018 compared to 7.2 million in 2017.
However, Malindo’s expansion has not been all smooth sailing. Over the years Malindo has suspended nearly as many routes as it currently operates and it has not yet turned the corner to become profitable. -

Belitung is now visible in the AirAsia booking engine, but so far without flights uploaded.
But seems like there will be flights from Jakarta too.
Maybe CGK-Belitung-KUL and return?

https://www.nst.com.my/business/2019/03/472656/klia-expansion-may-be-delayed-until-2023
KUALA LUMPUR: The expansion plan of the main terminal of the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) could be deferred until 2023, unless the decision can be finalised for the first Regulatory Asset Base (RAB) framework by January 2020.
Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB) group chief executive officer Raja Azmi Raja Nazuddin said the airport operator had appointed a consultant to undertake a feasibility study to give options which will include building a satellite terminal B and interlining, connecting both terminals.
“We expect to finalise this (expansion plan) decision by the third-quarter of this year in the first RAB, including the engagement with stakeholders.

Aziz said he could not understand how Malaysia Airlines continued to post huge losses despite recording a load factor of 78%.
Load factor is a measure of the percentage the aircraft is filled.
“During my tenure, if you could achieve a load factor of 72%, you could record profits of millions of dollars,” said Aziz, who helmed MAS from 1981 to 1991.
He is living in another world.....the past!
Mohd Jabarullah Abdul Kadir, a former adviser to the Malaysia Airlines System Employees Union (Maseu), said Rayer’s idea was in poor taste.
“Malaysia Airlines is part of the national pride and it has sufficient talent pool to run it,” he said, adding that its parent company Khazanah Nasional, which took the airline private in 2014 with a RM6 billion plan to turn it around, made the mistake of bringing in foreigners to head the airline.
For the unions...the bad bad foreigners were the big mistake.....omg...

From which person you are talking?

Last week i made a trip to Subang Airport to try the new train connection.
I was really surprised about the low load factor....from KL i was one of two and on the way back i was one of three.
A malay friend told me "the station is too far from the terminal...you have to use a grab from there"

But now, 10 months on, the actual number of users is far lower, with sources claiming only 160 passengers board the train every day. That means most of the time, the trains run empty.

Interesting information in my eyes!Competition is intensifying in the Australia-Bali market as Malaysia’s Malindo Air launches services in 2Q2019 from Adelaide and Sydney to Bali, using fifth freedom rights. Virgin Australia is also launching services from Darwin to Bali in Apr-2019, and Qantas is adding capacity from Sydney to Bali by upgauging to A330s.
Malindo already competes on the Melbourne-Bali and Brisbane-Bali routes and its Indonesia-based sister airline Batik Air serves Perth-Bali. With the launch of Adelaide and Sydney the Lion Group will therefore compete on the five largest Australia-Bali routes.
Malaysia’s AirAsia X is also now considering the launch of services from Bali to Australia using fifth freedom rights, taking a page from the strategy playbook of rival Malindo. However, AirAsia X will have to settle on a limited number of frequencies or wait for Malaysia to negotiate an expanded air services agreement with Indonesia, since the current bilateral caps the number of fifth freedom Bali-Australia weekly frequencies to 28.

Yes, if all sarawakians will love AirAsia again when they start it overnight?
