AAX’s capacity plunges 100pc to 6,032 in Q2 from: http://www.dailyexpress.com.my/news/156868/aax-s-capacity-plunges-100pc-to-6-032-in-q2/ Total 2,291 pax in Q2 2020 (undefined how many are fare paying) Averaging slightly above 25 pax per day I'm guessing those numbers are statistically irrelevant given the current environment We are near halfway through Q3 2020 already, wonder how the figures are adding up ?!

Everyone is so focused on the virus destroying demand for travel nowadays, I guess that has, for now at least, overshadowed the potentially even greater threat of an all out China-US trade war, or heaven forbid, China-US armed conflict It could be that of winning a battle now, but then having to face an even bigger one in an ongoing war My apologies for the damp sentiments 😀

Just departed BKI 🙂

You fired off the neurons - what is possibility of something similar happening to Air Asia and Air Asia X (Malaysia at least) ? 😀

AirAsia unveils red PPE suits for cabin crew https://www.thestar.com.my/news/regional/2020/04/27/airasia-unveils-red-ppe-suits-for-cabin-crew Wow ! 😀

So, only nine SQ and MI aircraft combined, worldwide 🥴 Wonder how to find space for those other 138 😕

Would I be right in assuming MH's two daily LHR flights are being maintained (so far at least) regardless of yields or loads just so those precious slots can be retained ?

I once ended up in the open air outside arrival hall queued up for immigration clearance - heck more pleasant there than the stifling atmosphere inside hall proper (though I doubt many of my fellow queue members appreciated sniffing Jet-A1 fumes as I did 😀)

Yes, BKI T2 was already overcrowded. Then the red one decided to stay put for ages instead of shifting to T1 when that was ready, all the while pax numbers kept increasing. That obviously did not help matters one bit, safe to say

How likely that PEN redevelopment be placed on back burner now, considering recent political changes ?

I'm guessing their current 'Unlimited Pass' offer (RM499 exclusive taxes and "fees applicable") is a fund raising attempt to alleviate cash flow crisis

Perhaps it's just me, but I do feel the airline should need to rephrase that 🤣
