Saving Airasia Group and Airasia X: Covid-19 Recovery Thread

Not helped by them pulling the plug on MYY-SIN and SBW-SIN services ๐ But how much this AirAsia 'plan' been sparked by ongoing Sarawak's 'boutique' airline programme and negotiations for takeover of MasWings ..... -

Are those rates inclusive of meals ? Cannot imagine staying at one of those isolated above the sea places and having to go searching for breakfast, lunch and dinner ๐

Meaning the TWU-NKG leg on 22 Jan will most likely be an empty ferry flight ?! ๐

For 9M-MXE, it's probably because she was stranded at BKI during past five days for some reason or another ..... ๐

I'm guessing their very impressive rail and road networks would allow PVG, HGH and NKG to serve the whole population base in that corner of China Plus, you would expect the traffic to be purely O&D, so interlining not needed. So might as well operate from the less busy airport, where fees should be lower ๐

Saving Airasia Group and Airasia X: Covid-19 Recovery Thread
BC Tam replied to flee's topic in General Aviation
For China, I will opine that the way their real estate sector has performed in the last couple of years would not have afforded anymore the heady sense of rising wealth that had driven much of the consumer spending and confidence pre-pandemic. And leisure travel / holidays would be one of the first items to sacrifice in any tightening of the purse strings Also, I think it's also likely policies / rules are in place to encourage more Chinese domestic tourism (that is one huge industry there that has to be rebuilt) and at same time 'discourage' foreign travel / holidays to lessen money flowing out of the country. Which is fair enough really, we too have also seen surge in our MY domestic tourism ๐ -

Much as BKI appear to be the apple in Capital A's eyes, should not distract from reality they too have substantially downscale operations ex BKI to the few Chinese stations (eg PKX, WUH ... ) and MFM terminated It is good though to see they are responding quickly to market demand/reactions -

Malaysia to see entry of new ultra low-cost carrier MYAirline
BC Tam replied to JuliusWong's topic in General Aviation
Apologies in advance if I'm 'politically incorrect' here, but I am of opinion those personnel who switched jobs for whatever reason - be it personal preference, financial advantage, career advancement ... etc - should have weighed in potential risk(s) of getting onboard an unproven outfit into their job switching decision Yes it's unfortunate sadly, but it's daily fare in the employment scene ๐ -
Malaysia to see entry of new ultra low-cost carrier MYAirline
BC Tam replied to JuliusWong's topic in General Aviation
Another angle - even if there was sufficient intelligence known to suggest the airline was close to collapse, denying them the AOC would have landed blame of the 'stranded paxs' squarely on MAVCOM's lap As it is now, MAVCOM can play the role of one who is assisting to resolve paxs' grudges against the collapsed airline So, ...... ๐ -

What ? In same manner as the Israelis were 'shocked' few days ago ? ๐ -
Wonder if anyone ever considered uplifting meals from other stations that have proper catering facilities instead - SIN, BKK, CGK ...? ๐ Sure it's going to be costly, but at silly situations, absurdity may prove useful

Another opinion, no need to feed too well prior to arrival into Bangkok city itself - there should be more than enough culinary excitements there to satisfy the resulting expanded appetites ๐
