D7 doesn't fly to ADL from Jan 2015 onwards, and no DRW route unless via QZ.

Hottest topic - once you got targeted, you would always get targeted for a period of time.

Welcome back, CA!

Nice one!

[updated statement] QZ8501 (as at 6:54pm, GMT+ AirAsia Indonesia would like to issue a correction on the nationality breakdown of passenger and crew on board QZ8501 as follows: Nationalities of passengers: 1 Singapore 1 Malaysia 3 South Korea 1 United Kingdom 149 Indonesia Nationalities of crew: 1 France 6 Indonesia AirAsia will release further information as soon as it becomes available. Updated information will also be posted on the AirAsia website,www.airasia.com.

Read on CNN, it was 1 UK citizen instead of 1 French... or dual nationality?

A mystery where the plane will never be found and it will never be solved.

Ha, what a mess! If it happened in London, there must be a good reason for it happened. But if in KLIA, government would be blamed. Cliche.

poor choice... how long is the flight from KUL to DRW? Supposedly if more than 4 to 5 hours, D7 would fly the route. But then again, DRW is already being served by MH now. I also wonder how MH did on the KUL - DRW route.

No way D7 can do that, picking up domestic passengers? Which other foreign airlines have ever done that? Not to mention UA is also not allowed to pick up passengers on its MEL - SYD route before embarking to LAX, even SQ is also not allowed to do the SIN - SYD - LAX route.

Rather than keep targeting AK, they should compare and compete with SQ and CX or even TG for that matter, by having more transit passengers in Malaysia before heading to other destinations. MH as a GLC was always political and because of this, the turnaround could be tough, though I could not fathom in details. Hope without intervention from the Government in the critical decision making, it would make the airlines business more focus and hence able to achieve the turnaround target.

I would say too much of government intervention.

I got the email of the flight cancellation by D7 to ADL. Effective on 25th Jan 2015. sucks!

Too much troubles. They should re-route to MH.

Re-route to Melbourne? Then? They will give us onwards flight to Adelaide?

I booked for flight in July 2015, it would be daily operations.

My friend in Aus sent me this link too as I have a planned trip to Aus next year via D7. But when I saw this... "AirAsia X has two to three direct flights to and from Kuala Lumpur each week." Oh well, ain't D7 has daily flight to ADL?

I guess we should have air marshal in all flights.

And don't forget to mention that AK, 3K, etc have these connecting flights to bring in the passengers.

Obama is born in Hawaii, if he ever still has any family there, might be good chance to catch up some family or friends there.

I think the KUL - SIN flights are over served....no?

Apparently Malaysian, Australia and Netherland ( the nation that has the highest motivation reason for over a hundred death) won't opt for it as neither of the nations is vengeful. Unless USA...

Whisky? Probably on business class. But can't be no soft drinks or wine/beer on the cart? I used to take CX too to HKG like 3 years ago, they did place on the carts and served beers/juice/soft drinks before the meal too. Will see tomorrow's flight back to KUL. Though of all these, still worth to take CX as they're charging only 2.6k MYR from HKG to EWR!
