Air Asia axes Bali to SYD/MEL Flights

[MarkR]

And another carrier exits the Bali market for many Australians, wonder if the ABC story helped precipitate the decline?

AIR Asia has cancelled its flights from Melbourne and Sydney to Bali, ruining honeymoons and holiday plans for jetsetters who were heading overseas in just a few months.

The airline will end its Melbourne and Sydney service to Bali on September 1, with the flights only being launched last year.

Customers received text messages telling them their Indonesia AirAsia X flights had been cancelled but received no explanation why.

An AirAsia spokesman has since said the suspension of the services was “part of a network restructuring aimed at improving operations efficiencies”.

The airline has offered customers with flights after August 31 to move their booking to an earlier date subject to availability, a full refund, credit or a rerouted flight via Kuala Lumpur within 14 days of the original booking dependent on seat availability.
