Many MEL pax bound for DPS are re-routed via KUL or offered with full refund.They mentioned it was because of regulatory problems. I wonder from which side,Indonesia or Australia?

JuliusWong 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2015 With the latest QZ8501 fiasco, I don't think Australia is in a hurry to approve any new flight from Indonesia-based airlines soon.....especially low cost's. People are simply losing faith on AirAsia X if they kept axing the flight like that! Yes, indeed. It is just sad, however AirAsia X is consolidating their operation this year to return to profit. If not, at least minimise the loss. Â Shareholders must be in jitters now since the massive Q3 loss. Note also that they have huge A330neo order. They would need to show financial institutions they are financially sound to get loan approval. The sell-and-lease back deals for two current A330s have helped in lowering the debt gearing but still quite high. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Â Soon, all their aircraft will be handled by this new company and the individual group companies do not need to borrow anymore. They just lease their aircraft from this new leasing company...

As their own staff who are members of this forum said, it is just to up their share price.  If you read the article, it is actually to inform that the search for flight QZ8501 will be called off. I think this news is just a 'diversion' (look at how the sentences are arranged intertwined with each other QZ8501-Europe-QZ8501-Europe-QZ8501 and the usage of LIKELY).

If you ask me, I don't think HNL is a sustainable route unless it continues on to the US west coast. So don't be surprised if the route is cancelled "for commercial reasons" a few months later...
