    No conflict with Tiger Airways here.

     

    The new subsidiary will be a medium- and long-haul LCC (just like AirAsia X).

    Hi All,

     

    AirAsia's facebook's latest post is about a competition on AirAsia's newest route.. Yes, KUL - CHC.. New Zealand~ And it's a direct flight too.. Looks like Malaysians can get cheap tickets to get a taste of New Zealand's beatiful landscape (Part of lord of the rings was filmed there right?) :D

    787 schedule to slip after fire prompts hardware, software changes - By Jon Ostrower

     

    First delivery of the 787 will be delayed again to make software and minor hardware changes to the electrical system, but the length of the latest setback will be decided within a "few weeks", Boeing says.

     

    The airframer needs to implement changes to the Hamilton Sundstrand-supplied software that manages and protects power distribution on the aircraft, as well as a minor hardware change to the P100 distribution panel to prevent foreign object debris (FOD) ingestion.

     

    "We have successfully simulated key aspects of the on-board event in our laboratory and are moving forward with developing design fixes," says 787 vice president and general manager Scott Fancher

     

    Boeing says foreign debris "most likely" caused the 9 November fire aboard ZA002 that halted 787 certification operations.

     

    The company adds that "engineers have determined the fault began as either a short circuit or an electrical arc in the P100 power distribution panel", which sits against the left wall of the 787's aft electronic equipment bay and manages power generated by the aircraft's left engine.

     

    Randy Tinseth, Boeing vice president of marketing, says: "Whatever this foreign debris was, it wasn't something big - such as a tool - it was probably something small. We're taking the right steps to ensure the power distribution panels are better protected against foreign debris."

     

    As for the six grounded flight test aircraft, Boeing did not say whether or not the design changes would require implementation before resuming certification activities, saying only: "Boeing is developing a plan to enable a return to 787 flight test activities and will present it to the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) as soon as it is complete."

     

    The company says it is now "assessing the time required to complete the design changes and software updates that are being developed".

     

    The first 787 is currently slated for handover to Japan's All Nippon Airways in the middle of the first quarter 2011.

    Less popular in relation to supply. They have 10 flights to SIN nowadays - so there are a lot more free seats available on this route. Besides people don't plan to go to SIN 11 months in advance - so the travel behaviour pattern to SIN is different (most just go on the spur of the moment or at short notice).

     

    The sale is based on supply and demand. More demand than supply = no more zero fares!

     

    Hmm i believe that they have some sort of formula to calculate it based on the "more demand than supply" = result in increase in price.. probably had the programmers working on the calculations at the backend of the system already~

    SYDNEY — Jetstar, the budget offshoot of Australian flag carrier Qantas, Wednesday announced an agreement with Air France-KLM which the airline hopes will expand its customer base in Europe.

     

    The deal, which includes Jetstar, Jetstar Asia/Valuair and Jetstar Pacific, will cover all Jetstar ports and Air France-KLM hubs in Paris and Amsterdam.

     

    The partnership will allow passengers to travel more easily to the almost 60 destinations across the Asia-Pacific region that Jetstar serves, including through its growing Singapore hub, Jetstar executive manager commercial David Koczkar said.

     

    "It also supports Jetstar's position as the largest low-cost carrier in Asia Pacific," he said in a statement.

     

    Air France-KLM, which operates more than 200 weekly flights to 22 Asian cities, said the alliance was a strategic move towards improving its reach into the fast growing region.

     

    "By joining forces with Jetstar we are offering more choice in destinations between Europe and the Asia Pacific," said Marnix Fruitema, senior vice president Asia Pacific.

     

    The deal is the first the Jetstar group has done outside its parent company Qantas. Jetstar operates close to 2,000 flights each week to 57 destinations across the Asia-Pacific region.
