Afternoon all,

Wonder what impact this will have on MH services??
|
MH loss, they should have up graded to 380 to Melbourne and Sydney!
|
But they cancelled the A380 on MEL & SYD routes due to poor loading (or so im lead to believe anyway!)
|
Additional frequencies being added on flights to Melbourne, Perth, Sydney, Gold Coast

The KL | AUS | KL market wouldn't deliver healthy yields.
Jetstar could not make it work years ago, with lower cASK's than MH. MH is probably losing money on this market, and Air Asia, well their cASK's are ridiculously low, and have no other direct competition. |
Interesting.
I think you'll find part of the reason D7 has increased Oz services is to keep their planes in the air, with the delay in the opening of KLIA2 they have no other option as parking at the LCCT is at a premium with D7 only having 4 bays. Also take into account they have recently taken delivery of a number of A333's including their last 2 factory fresh ones -XXJ and -XXK, the first of 7 second hand ex CX/KA A333's is ready in Singapore for delivery -XXL too. -XXM is also at SIAEC in Singapore undergoing preparation for service also. I just came back from KL on Tuesday and their wasn't too many spare seats onboard so they are doing well out of Perth. Flight up had 308 pax on. |
They are announcing a new Aus port today - perhaps Cairns?
AirAsia @AirAsia 6m Good day, mate! We are somewhere in #Australia now to announce #AirAsiaX newest destination! Stay tuned ;-) http://instagram.com/p/cViHouC6uS/ Edit - Nope its ADL! http://instagram.com/p/cVjTOsi6vx/# |
I would have expected better from The Australian. Stating that the new Air Asia X service will be Adelaide's only direct flights to KL. Unless of course they are replacing MH's daily service which I doubt, particularly as The Advertiser quotes the SA Premier as saying these new flights now exceed a 2020 target for weekly international airline seats into Adelaide.
