Over capacity means price war, good news for consumers.

Over capacity means price war, good news for consumers.

Only in the short term. The moment a competitor withdraws to lick their wounds prices will rise again.

 

Sustainable competition is much better.

Overcapacity already?

The regularly have this 20% sale these days.

 

No more zero fare sale gimmicks like last time (e.g. 2m FREE SEATS!).... not sustainable!

Of course, they want to sell planes!

They still do, but usually for travel period about one year from booking date.

Not blanket sales, only for selected routes and not on D7 flights. D7 is not in favour of zero fare gimmicks.

Although fare is discounted 20%, find it higher than 2 months ago. Guess AK is using "sale" to mask fare increased.

Which is quite normal. I found RM84.40 (before discount RM99) BKI - KUL for 4 March which is less than 3 weeks away. People aren't spending as they did before.
