If someone have evidence...then AirAsia and not Mavcom :-P

Bhubaneswar: In view of record growth in air passenger traffic at Biju Patnaik International Airport (BPIA), AirAsia is planning to launch flights to two more international destinations in the coming days.

AirAsia is planning to launch next international flights to Colombo and Bangkok from Bhubaneswar after Kuala Lumpur, Tourism and Culture Minister Ashok Chandra Panda informed on Tuesday.

The aviation firm AirAsia has sent a proposal to Odisha government seeking permission to operate flights to Sri Lankan capital Colombo and Thailand capital Bangkok in the upcoming days, the Minister said.

Presently, the AirAsia is operating daily flight services to Kuala Lumpur from Bhubaneswar with a subsidy from the state government.

Southeast Asian budget airline AirAsia is looking to add several more flights to its operations this year, including a route from Manila to Osaka during the last quarter of 2018.

This development comes just weeks after Philippines AirAsia opened its Manila-Bangkok route which has been fully booked since it was offered to the public.

According to Capt. Dexter Comendador, Philippines AirAsia chief, they were looking to open flight routes from Cebu, Clark and Manila to a host of Asian cities this 2018, including Hangzhou and Shenzhen in China, Taipei in Taiwan and Osaka, Japan.

Comendador said that they were also hoping to add Narita, Japan to this list this year.

Comendador and AirAsia Group CEO Tony Fernandes said that one issue they needed to deal with in expanding their routes was the capacity of airports to accommodate new flights.

“Partly, the airport has been an issue in getting slots, etcetera, so we just been told that we can apply for Manila to Busan,” Fernandes told reporters during the company’s celebration of servicing its 500 millionth passenger.

loonginv aiyo, laugh die me... somebody ask if high oil price plane lay on ground meh... wakakaka. of coz still la ma...but in higher cost lo..

Ah....a specialist!
Maybe you dont think about that other airlines who have higher cost then AirAsia have to cancel routes and tony can get a higher yield and then compensate a higher oil price?

And how long you wanna discuss this? till the next election???? Maybe you have put options on AirAsia??

nobody really wonders that CIMB only talks about Indonesia and Philippines? Just on the day when AirAsia Thailand reported a record profit! Funny or what do you think

MANILA, Philippines – With a goal of increasing its fleet to 70 jets, Philippines AirAsia Incorporated is developing hubs in Puerto Princesa, Palawan and Panglao, Bohol, which are two of the country's top tourist draws.

"We are opening up Panglao when it opens up and Puerto Princesa. These will be opened up as hubs because we are lacking space in Manila. In the next 10 years, we should have 70 planes," AirAsia president and chief executive officer Dexter Comendador told reporters on the sidelines of an event in Mandaluyong City last week.

Comendador had reiterated the airline's goal to make the Clark International Airport its main hub for operations, as the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) has inadequate space for the budget airline's fleet expansion.

In the next 3 to 5 years, Comendador said Philippines AirAsia targets to double its fleet. By 2032, it aims to have 70 planes. (READ: From 2 jets to 70: AirAsia returns to its Clark roots)

"We need to distribute the planes to the countryside. It will spread then development will follow," the chief of Philippines AirAsia added.

In 2013, the local unit of AirAsia moved its operations to the NAIA Terminal 4 in Manila after its then-affiliate Zest Airways Incorporated suffered heavy losses. It was in March 2017 when AirAsia moved back to its Clark roots.

In line with its goal to increase its fleet, Philippines AirAsia is also increasing its flight frequencies to China, including Cebu-Shenzhen, Shanghai, and Guangzhou within the month.

Comendador said Philippines AirAsia is looking to launch direct flights between Manila and Osaka, Japan by the 3rd quarter of 2018.

"We're trying to share each other's tourists in the AirAsia group to bring them in here. Boracay is just a glitch. There's Panglao, Puerto Princesa, Davao, Cebu. There are other places," Comendador added, referring to the 6-month closure of Boracay to tourists.

Thai AirAsia, over the same period posted total revenue of B11.642bn and a record net profit of B1.834bn, with a load factor of 91% (up 2 percentage points).

The number of passengers carried during the quarter was recorded at 5.64 million, up by 16%.

Of note, in Q1/2018 TAA delivered three aircraft, increasing its fleet to 59 aircraft in total.

Mr Tassapon said TAA saw continued growth in Q1/2018 mainly due to its enthusiastic work in the domestic market, especially in secondary provinces in support of Thai government’s policy.

loonginv oil price up......
14/05/2018 13:50

yes and?
What do you think? Oil 100 USD and all planes are on the ground?
What do you think? Which airlines can handle a high oilprice better? The ones with the lowest costs!

Funny to read that!
You damn the most famous brand of Malaysia in the world.
What are the alternatives? MAS has burned hundreds of millions of taxpayers' money nearly every year in the last decade. Malindo flies with money from Indonesia.
Congratulations to Malaysia that it has people like you!

@ankahill
ruuuuuunnnnn home boy ;-)

But just a few words about 'overcapacity' in indonesia if someone is interested....
Now IAA have 29 planes. In dec they needed 27. But since then...they start to out wome fequencies up. Means 28 needed and one backup...thats not overcapacity folks.
Overcapacity is when lion air is parking 15 new 737 at jakarta airport cause they dont have ideas where they fly...

In my eyes its just a sign how corrupt the politics in Indonesia are!

The bans on the flights - three from Surabaya to the capital, Jakarta, one to Bali and one to regional centre Bandung - will deal another blow to the Malaysia-based low-cost carrier, which had already been suspended from the Surabaya-Singapore route entirely.

It's part of a broader government crackdown on lax administration of flight permits from Surabaya Airport. The fast-growing Indonesian-owned low cost carrier Lion Air has been stopped from flying nine of its weekly services, and smaller aircraft Trigana and KalStar have also been affected.

And late on Tuesday, another airport, Medan, made a similar decision, banning AirAsia from flying its Tuesday Medan to Palembang service.

http://www.straitstimes.com/news/asia/south-east-asia/story/airasia-flight-qz8501-transport-minister-responsible-alleged-illegal

So stop to blame AirAsia!

Folks come on...you know that indonesia is full of corruption....and some partys ...lion air for example...have an interest to hurt airasia.
dont think that anybody really believe that airasia will fly without approval!!!

@soyabeannice
For you to learn:

AirAsia Malaysia 82x A320
Indonesia AirAsia 30x A320 ( now 29 )

Not really six times bigger ;-)

@soyabeannice

You have no idea from the market in thailand i think. The loss ws over the summer..now in q4 its high season hear! 200 MILL win fot the hole year shows a turnaround!

Posted Today, 08:10 AM
Was on the inaugural Malindo 10am flight from SIN-KUL, and the load was very very low with only 17 passengers.

Oh i just booked yesterday a daytrip with ThaiAirAsia out of DMK....
Look at the oilprice.If the hedging Team is doing there Job, costs for Kerosin will be down 20% or more during 2015/2016 against 2013/2014.

But i Think you wanna make Money within a few weeks. Then you have do buy an etf on the dow and do daytrading! Then you dont have to look on a single stock.

Tony Fernandes @tonyfernandes · 7. Okt.

Indonesia making money again.great job by the team. As is thailand . fly through and ancillary growing.

@rizerlee
Btw...im from Germany. Nobody from Europe will use LionAir...just for info! Their safety record is well known here and they are on the black list of the EU.

Ahhh...BullBear....looool :-)

BB?

Malindo is starting 3 times daily KUL-SIN....maybe rizerlee will tell us now that this is the end for the 10 times daily Service from AA?

@rizerlee
I know this side very well! Today they write this, tomorrow the opposite.
And i know the aviation market in south east asia very well. You too?
The lose for TAA depends not on the competion. It Comes from the political sitaution...and that Q2 is absolutly low season in Thailand. YOu dont know that?

And Hyderabad...dont you think that an market can grow? Are you from Malaysia? The Malaysia-India market is growing through the last two years. So why not going back on this route and take a part of the cake?

Btw, Lion is the only Airline LCC in SEA that is not going to public with his numbers! You think theyre making big Money? I dont think so! Was two weeks ago in Jakarta....at least 20 of their new Boeing 737 were parked at the Apron without anything to do.

@rizerlee
Thai Lion is burning a lot of Money! Yields in the domestic market looking good at TAA....but Nokair is making nearly every day a promotion

AirAsia form 08DEC14 resumes Kuala Lumpur – Hyderabad service, as the airline plans daily flight on board Airbus A320 aircraft. Reservation for this route opened at 0000LT on 30SEP14 in Malaysia.
