    10,000 free return tickets

    PETALING JAYA: A total 10,000 free AirAsia return tickets will be offered under the carrier's 1Malaysia Integration Programme.

     

    An AirAsia spokesperson said the offer would apply to Malaysians flying to-and-from the peninsular and Sabah and Sarawak.

    The tickets are only offered to Malaysians and AirAsia is planning to give out more details to the public today.

     

    Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak had announced the programme on Saturday, saying the offer would last for a month.

    He, however, did not reveal when the offer period would start.

     

    According to the spokesperson, AirAsia serviced 375 flights from Sabah and Sarawak to the peninsular and vice-versa every week.

     

    These are divided into eight airports in Sabah and Sarawak (Kota Kinabalu, Bintulu, Kuching, Labuan, Miri, Sibu, Sandakan and Tawau) and three airports in the peninsula (Kuala Lumpur, Johor Baru and Penang).

     

    Kuala Lumpur's trips amounted for the lion's share of the total, including 84 flights to Kota Kinabalu and 70 flights to Kuching.

    AirAsia currently uses the Airbus A320 aircraft for these flights, which can seat around 180 people.

     

    The spokesperson added that AirAsia carried more than 2.5 million passengers, including foreigners, between the peninsular and Sabah and Sarawak last year.

    Singapore Airlines cops $4.1M fine in latest air cargo cartel settlement
    Paul McBeth | Friday December 21, 2012

    Singapore Airlines Cargo has been fined $4.1 million for its role in colluding to fix prices for air cargo in the latest settlement with the Commerce Commission.

     

    In the High Court in Auckland, Justice Chris Allan today ordered the airline to pay the third-biggest fine out the seven settlements to date, taking the running tally to $24.48 million.

     

    SIA Cargo, a subsidiary of Singapore Airlines, admitted liability for agreeing to fuel and security surcharges in Indonesia and Malaysia for cargo flown to New Zealand over a four-year period. The judge also awarded $260,000 in costs to the antitrust regulator.

     

    "It is common ground that the defendant's conduct was at the serious end of the spectrum," the judgment said. "The surcharges comprised only part of the total charges to customers for air cargo services, but the agreements must inevitably have affected price competition and so impacted upon competitive dynamics in the relevant markets."

     

    Justice Allan gave a 20% discount to the final penalty to recognise the admissions, and likened SIA Cargo's role in the cartel to that of Japan Airlines and Korean Air, which were fined $2.28 million and $3.5 million respectively.

     

    "Importantly, SIA Cargo implemented a global competition law compliance programme in 2005," the judge said. "Since then it has continued to update its policy, as well as undertaking additional in person training and instituting web based training."

     

    Other airlines to have settled with the regulator include British Airways, Cargolux Airlines, Emirates, and Qantas.

     

    The alleged price-fixing has been the subject of antitrust process worldwide, with big settlements from multi-national airlines in Europe and the U.S. Some of the alleged agreements appear to have been in place since 2001.

     

    In 2006, air freight forwarding services in and out of New Zealand generated $450 million in revenue.

    The commission's case is scheduled to continue in the High Court, with Air New Zealand, Cathay Pacific Airways, Malaysian Airlines, and Thai Airways International defending the charges.

     

    The regulator dropped proceedings against Garuda Indonesia, United Airlines and six Air New Zealand executives last year, and discontinued against two Qantas executives in February this year.

     

    Last month, Cargolux lost a bid to throw out a compensation claim by a local flower exporter over the price-fixing cartel.

    AirAsia fined by Australian court for not including taxes, charges in advertised air fares
    December 18, 2012

    MELBOURNE, Dec 18 – A Federal Court in Melbourne said today low-cost-carrier AirAsia Berhad had been given a hefty A$200,000 (RM645,000) fine for not including taxes and other charges on its website, a violation against the Australian Consumer Law.

     

    According to a report in the Herald Sun, the Australian Consumer and Competition Commission (ACCC) said the www.airasia.com site did not indicate whether the ticket prices included taxes, fees, loads or other additional costs “in a prominent way and as a single figure”.

     

    The violation involved flights from Melbourne to Macau, London, Ho Chi Minh City, New Delhi, Hangzhou and Chengdu, flights from Perth to Taipei, Phuket, Osaka, London, Ho Chi Minh City and Hangzhou, as well as from the Gold Coast to Ho Chi Minh City, the report said.

     

    Unless the full price is prominently displayed, the consumer may well be attracted to a transaction which he or she would not otherwise have found to be appealing and grudgingly pay the additional imposts rather than go to the trouble of withdrawing from the transaction and looking elsewhere, said Justice Tracey in his judgment.

     

    Therefore, Tracey noted AirAsia’s actions had given them an unfair advantage compared with other companies who comply with the rules.

     

    The report also said that in addition to the fine, AirAsia had also given an undertaking restraining it from engaging in similar conduct for three years.

     

    “This ACCC action vindicates the importance of all inclusive pricing,” ACCC chairman Rod Sims said.

     

    “Consumers must have accurate price information, and in turn, airlines require a level playing field on price representations in this competitive industry where consumers are price sensitive,” the Herald Sun reported.

    I had login into enrich website just now to claim my missing miles on previous flight PEN-KUL date 8th Dec. So impressing me, it's credited just in a few minutes and my miles straight updated after I submitted using claim missing miles menu. Previously this function not working properly. Thanks Enrich for upgrading system I guess. :D

    What is the definition of "completed" in "...transaction is completed at the stipulated time"?

     

    With the many errors of MH booking engine, I dont know if it can be the judge. For instance, the booking engine is not even showing seat availability on KUL-SIN on 31-Dec in any class, even though it is wide open with several flights a day!

    Yup, now can't make a payment. Some problem they facing. Hopefully can up as soon as possible because I guess tomorrow will be heavy traffic :D
