Hit the link and it comes up -sorry deal no longer exists. Talk about desperation pricing...(that's even worse that AIR's $9 domestic offer today which is actually free flying as airways and landing fees are more than $9 per passenger). Maybe Air Asia have gone bankrupt already ?
Not really.. I will have travel insurance and I would imagine I have a similar chance of catching it in the US as I do in NZ AND I am fairly healthy so I may not even need to visit a GP. The quarantine would be a pain though but hey not about to change travel plans on the basis of a near 0% chance of infection ;)
Air Asia X (the long haul part) is a separately listed and financially much more troubled and risky company than the core Air Asia. I would have serious concerns over Air Asia X surviving another year in this environment.
Likewise Malaysia Airlines, already dependent on government support could see losses escalate.
To my earlier post about the strong surviving and then getting stronger, core Air Asia as the strongest regional low cost airline should survive and thrive.
It should also be noted, Malaysia has handled the outbreak really well so far.
Malaysia airlines has been keen to offer business class at a discount and especially if you have flown with them previously. That is a real concern if they do not have sticky premium customers to fill the premium cabin. Assume the Government will continue financial support thou....
I like this guy more than the last one already. Foran heading out on the frontline. "One of the aspects of my job I get most satisfaction about is getting hands-on with customers and staff. Don't be surprised to see me working with our Cabin Crew serving on flights, checking customers in at airports or welcoming everyone arriving or departing at Koru lounges."

This bird took the recent opportunity to fly South with the flock............. and will return North once climate changes
Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if they actually lose money in the second half and burn heaps of cash. No worries according to the board though, lets just keep the dividends the same, everything will come out in the wash because we have $1b in cash. What could possibly go wrong :eek2:
