Y. J. Foo 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2009 Some comments on FB's wall reflect my opinion dead-on: the primary reason I use FY is because of the fact that it uses SZB. Moving to LCCT doesn't seem to bode well for FY's future... Should FY moves all its ops to LCCT I might as well fly AK. FY's fare is not as cheap as AK's.

jysim 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2009 FY had been known to throw out surprises at times we least expected, i.e. no more fuel surcharge. I think this might be another one of those, maybe a new ticketing office? Or free shuttle service from LCCT to SZB? That will channel some long-haul passengers from AK to their regional services? Just look forward to Oct 15 then! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Juergen Witte 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2009 We´ll see what happens ... I´d expect FY announces a few routes out of LCCT that are not served by AK and would not justify an A320. Interconnectivity between flights/airlines at LCCT is way better than at SZB. SZB is perfect for local passengers but very inconvenient if you arrive on AK at LCCT and you like to continue to a destination that only FY serves from SZB ! So, we´ll probably see some FY routes out of LCCT that "complement" Air Asia´s portfolio. FY will not get into competition with AK !!! They will stay "below" Ak´s interests ... AK will generate a huge number of potential passengers to connect to/from FY (who would otherwise rather connect with bus/coach/train) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mushrif A 3 Report post Posted October 13, 2009 It's hard to see FY operating from two bases, as the costs would be tough to justify. Also, in terms of complementing AK, really - where does FY flies that AK does not that would justify FY flying out of the LCCT? It's probably just an FY ticketing office at LCCT.
