Will he take over the 6 A380 from MAS and start routes from Kuching to Europe, California and Sydney?

"subsidised" dont mean that government takes the whole loss! Normally an airport or an region pays a fixed price for every passengers on a new route...lets say ( just for example ) 30RM. So if the yield is lower than expected, it could be really possible that AirAsia makes still a loss. Dont forget, they reduced from daily to just 4 times a week first.

With 75% load it was one of the worst AirAsia-Routes in the whole network! I think i had read articles with "almost full flights"... Once again, if Tony had make money with that route then it will not be canx!

Have Malindo meanwhile a Crewbase at Denpasar for the routes to Australia? I think that will make the operation really expensive!

Really? How deep you wanna fall? Looks like the parent company meanwhile have some serious problems: https://centreforaviation.com/analysis/reports/lion-group-fleet-slowing-aircraft-deliveries-a-good-strategy-456693 But maybe Malindo will get some old Lion 737-Birds...

Uncle Tony have 6 A320 based in Kuching..you wanna change to some MASWings ATR?

They started 28th October. But as i wrote....yields were sooooo deep. And Malindo was faster to cancel Subang-Silangit ;-) Philippines AirAsia Kalibo - Taipeh 4/7 from 28th march

Five years..no profits but mother in Indonesia pays all. Im sure he is talking about Thai Lion..

From 23th january now they wanna start 2nd march...

KUL-Silangit will be canx end of February. Malindo canx Silangit some weeks ago.

So far a rumour, but Tony twitterted that too last week when he visited the headquarter from Jet Blue in New York. So maybe AirAsia X to LAX and / or SFO and from there further on Codehare or Interlining with Jet Blue to New York, Boston and Florida.

Once again..."load 100pc" dont mean the route is profitable. I think around 90pc of the passengers are from China....if the chinese tour operators dont get a good price then they dont take again some seats. Btw....first the route was daily....then reduction to 4/7.....
