  • AirAsia to shed 30% of workforce

    AirAsia to shed 30% of workforce

    AirAsia India is expected to let go of several of its employees as its part-owner, AirAsiaBerhad struggles to maintain its group operations across regions following the outbreak of coronavirus.

    AirAsia Berhad is set to reduce up to 30 percent of its workforce across regions including its Indian operations which it part-owns with Tata Sons as the group struggles to maintain its operations following the Covid-19 outbreak.

    Sources in the airline said that apart from salary reduction up to 75 percent, the group is seriously considering plans to let go between 25 percent and 30 percent of its entire workforce of about 20,000 across regions.

    An AirAsia India spokesperson, however, declined to comment on the possible measures being taken to retrench employees. As of December 2019, AirAsia India had a market share of 7 percent. It has a total fleet size of 30 aircraft and flies to 21 destinations across India.

    The airline sector is one of the most-affected industries since the outbreak of coronavirus across the countries. According to airline consultancy firm CAPA, most airlines in the world could file for bankruptcy soon. “As the impact of the coronavirus and multiple government travel reactions sweep through our world, many airlines have probably already been driven into technical bankruptcy, or are at least substantially in breach of debt covenants.”

    As far as the airlines operating in India are concerned, CAPA said they are expected to incur a total loss of $3.6 billion during the first quarter of the current financial year. Cash reserves are running down quickly as fleets are grounded and what flights there are operate much less than half full, it said.

    Surprisingly, AirAsia India recently received its board’s clearance for increasing its borrowing limit by ₹1,000 crore to ensure it continues to pay leasing and parking charges for its grounded aircraft. AirAsia India is learned to be the first domestic airline to formally increase the borrowing limit. The decision to increase the limit from ₹500 crore to ₹1,500 crore was taken at a meeting of the shareholders in April.

    AirAsia India is a joint venture between Tata Sons, which owns 51 percent in the airline, and AirAsia Berhad. The special resolution was approved to carry out “existing and future financial requirements to support its business operations”

    AirAsia India, which has been struggling since it began its operations in June 2014, recorded a fourth-quarter net loss of ₹123.3 crore in FY19, which was 26 percent lesser than the same quarter in the previous year. It recorded revenues of ₹1,057.6 crore, a 65 percent increase from Q4 of FY18 on the back of a 38 percent increase in capacity, and a 19 percent increase in average fare.

  • AirAsia to slash workforce by at least 30%

    AirAsia to slash workforce by at least 30%

    Southeast Asia’s biggest low-cost carrier AirAsia Group is set to reduce its workforce by up to 30% as founder Tony Fernandes considers selling a 10% stake in the airline to raise cash. Desperately trying to stave off a cash flow crisis triggered by the coronavirus pandemic which has decimated the region’s travel and tourism industry, AirAsia will also slash remaining staff salaries by up to 75% in an attempt the save the airline, the Nikkei Asian Review has learned.

    The retrenchment will include cutting 60% of AirAsia’s cabin crew and pilots for both AirAsia and its medium-haul affiliate AirAsia X. AirAsia Group operates through Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Japan, India and the Philippines.

    Almost all of the company’s 20,000 employees have been individually re-evaluated since January based on salary scale and performance, with the lay-off expected to continue through to the end of July.

    Multiple sources have told Nikkei that the airline — in which Fernandes continues to hold a majority stake — may also sell 10% of the company’s paid-up shares to raise cash, with South Korea’s SK Corp reportedly leading a trio of multinationals expressing interest.

    The share sale would not require shareholder approval as management has already been mandated to increase the number of new shares by up to 10% at a shareholders meeting last June. Korea’s third-largest conglomerate SK Corp could subscribe to new AirAsia shares of 1 Ringgit each, raising approximately $78.4 million for the airline. SK Corp, which has a major presence in the energy and telecommunications industries via its 95 subsidiaries, registered revenue of $213.6 billion last year and is backed by to $257.9 billion worth of assets.

    “All the proposals are being deliberated by the Board of Directors, with a decision can be expected as soon as next week,” a source said.

    While remaining employees are asked to take pay cuts ranging between 15%-75%, Fernandes has also slashed AirAsia’s capital expenditure and the working capital of all the group’s operating airlines. Fernandes and the airline’s co-founder Kamarudin Meranun have also agreed to draw no salary for the medium term.

    “Budgets for departments have been slashed while the salary cuts are expected to last until the end of next year,” the source said. “AirAsia only expects the situation to improve in 2022.”

    Employee benefits, which include free and discounted flights and complimentary meal coupons, have been curtailed significantly.

    “Bonuses, salary increments, and incentives have been put on hold while only travel allowance and basic salary paid,” the source said. Another source close to Fernandes said that Fernandes was also exploring the sale of unprofitable airline ventures in Japan and India.

    “He (Fernandes) is open to reduce stakes or even exit Japan and India, due to the complexity of the domestic industry and escalating costs if compared to sales,” the source, who declined to be named. Thai AirAsia was exploring a merger with several domestic budget carriers in an attempt to survive the pandemic.

    Malaysia’s government is also looking at channeling over $350 million to the country’s three main cash-strapped carriers AirAsia, Malaysia Airlines, and Malindo Airways as part of a broader economic rescue package.

    The government hopes the funds will help the airlines survive the pandemic crisis and new operating procedures which may include social distancing onboard and contactless check-in.

  • AirAsia Indonesia to resume flight this month amid relaxation of restrictions

    AirAsia Indonesia to resume flight this month amid relaxation of restrictions

    AirAsia Indonesia will resume flights on June 19 as the country has gradually relaxed rules on large-scale social restrictions, the airline said today. President director of AirAsia Indonesia Veranita Yosephine Sinaga said that preparations for the resumption of scheduled flights had been carried out.

    “AirAsia is committed to serving the needs of traveling or transporting goods to across the country and abroad through special charter flights for passengers and cargoes,” she remarked.

    The airline said that travelers flying with AirAsia in the future are required to understand and strictly adhere to and comply with health and immigration requirements, and the travel restrictions set up by the governments of the country of origin and those of the destination, local media reported.

    The airline said it will gradually reinstate its services around the networks once the global health situation improves and regulatory restrictions are terminated.

    Indonesia has gradually relaxed its restrictions during the Covid-19 pandemic in the hope of a pickup in business activities but also heeded the areas where transmission rates remain afloat.

    Covid-19 has killed 1,851 people across Indonesia and infected 31,186 others, the Health Ministry reported today.

  • Thai AirAsia chief proposes longer weekends

    Thai AirAsia chief proposes longer weekends

    Thai AirAsia’s executive chairman is proposing to the government a policy allowing one day working from home per week to avoid public congestion and boost the domestic tourism market to reach its target of 100 million trips this year.

    As more people get used to working from home, the government should consider allowing civil servants and private companies to work remotely one day a week, said Tassapon Bijleveld, executive chairman of SET-listed Asia Aviation (AAV) and the largest shareholder of Thai AirAsia.

    He said that when people are not bound to an office routine for Fridays, there’s a chance they’ll consider taking more trips for three-day weekends.

    The Tourism Authority of Thailand and the Finance Ministry are working on a tourism stimulus plan to make activities more affordable in the second half of the year.

    Mr Tassapon said he discussed the idea with the state agency, arguing that it would help efforts to push domestic tourism once the coronavirus crisis ends.

    “The domestic market still has a chance to take the lead in restoring the national economy, but it will depend on the scale of efforts from the government and cooperation from the private sector,” he said.

    He also encouraged the Interior Ministry and governors of each province to scrap the 14-day quarantine for inter-provincial travelers, as well as make clear whether a health certificate is needed. Some provinces have not clarified the rules, and airlines cannot plan routes to those destinations.

    Mr Tassapon said that while the aviation industry in Thailand is at a critical stage, the government can help it by offering local travelers a tax deduction on expenses for domestic airfares, which the previous scheme didn’t cover.

    According to the Tourism and Sports Ministry, local travelers took 24.7 million trips during the first four months of this year, down 50.3% year-on-year, generating 190 billion baht for the economy, down 48.3%.

    Mr Tassapon said Thailand’s tourism landscape after the global health crisis will lean towards quality tourists because more requirements for each trip will make people want to stay longer and spend more in Thailand instead of coming 3-4 times a year as they did before the pandemic.

    Moreover, Thailand should preserve the natural resources that have been restored during the outbreak.

    To achieve those goals, attractions are necessary for certain areas such as the northeastern provinces of Thailand.

    In the past, most tourists went to southern Thailand, which boasts plenty of famous resort islands, resulting in exploitation of nature and unbalanced tourism revenue.

    The Board of Investment should invite a major theme park operator such as Disney or Universal Studios to open a full-scale park in destinations that lack natural attractions, Mr Tassapon said.

    He noted that almost every province in the Northeast has an airport already. New investment could create many jobs for local communities.

  • AirAsia to resume Philippine domestic flights starting June 3

    AirAsia to resume Philippine domestic flights starting June 3

    AirAsia announced on Sunday that it will be resuming its domestic flights starting June 3 as quarantine protocols are eased in several areas in the country including Metro Manila.

    In an advisory, AirAsia said that resumption of services will gradually increase to include international destinations by July 1.

    Selected domestic flights are available for booking via the airline’s website or mobile application. Travelers can also use their credit accounts to redeem these flights.

    AirAsia also announced that operations for domestic flights will be temporarily moved to Terminal 3 of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport from its previous location at Terminal 4.

    Travelers were advised to expect enhanced safety measures which include the mandatory wearing of face masks to be permitted to travel, among others.

    AirAsia Philippines CEO Ricky Isla said assured the traveling public that they are “well prepared to welcome everyone aboard.”

    “During the hibernation of our fleet, we took the time to step up our handling procedures to ensure that our guests have a swift and safe journey with us. Needless to say, we are well prepared to welcome everyone on board,” Isla said.

    “As we resume our services around our network, AirAsia is determined to help rebuild our economy and country,” Isla added.

  • AirAsia enhances digital self check-in prior to flights resumption

    AirAsia enhances digital self check-in prior to flights resumption

    AirAsia has rolled out a number of additional safety procedures prior to the resumption of its flights, including enhanced digital self-check-in procedures.

    AirAsia check-in kiosks at airport terminals have been designed to perform contactless transactions by scanning QR codes of flight bookings from mobile devices or printed boarding documents. Guests only need to check-in online to generate a code, which will activate the kiosks automatically.

    “We look forward to flying with our guests as soon as circumstances allow it. With the hope that the global community is on its way to recovery, we continue to put in place measures that will safeguard the health and wellbeing of our passengers and crew. One way AirAsia is doing this is by maximizing the power of technology in line with our vision of becoming a fully digital company,” AirAsia Philippines Chief Executive Officer Ricky Isla said.

    To initiate a contactless transaction at kiosks, guests are advised to check-in first on the AirAsia.com website or mobile app. The generated QR code on their mobile device or printed document after checking-in may then be scanned at the kiosk, which will always be on “active mode” to read QR codes. Scanning a QR code will automatically print boarding passes and baggage tags without having to touch the kiosk’s screen.

    Guests may seamlessly self-check-in on the AirAsia.com website and mobile app 14 days up to 1 hour before the scheduled departure time.

    AirAsia’s mobile app will also see an enhancement soon where guests can scan their passports via the app itself, facilitating more streamlined user experience and a seamless and contactless self-check-in process. There are also plans to progressively add other features such as travel visa scanning capabilities in the near future.

    Meanwhile, measures that will be strictly enforced as part of the safety procedures include physical distancing at check-in and boarding queues.

    Guests will be required to have their body temperature checked by airport or airline personnel. Protective gear such as face masks will also be required inside the aircraft, and all passengers will be encouraged to practice high personal hygiene throughout the flight.

    Guests who experience symptoms related to Covid-19 during a flight are advised to seek assistance from cabin crew, who have been trained to handle inflight medical situations. Flight crew who attend to guests with said symptoms will be placed under home quarantine for 14 days in compliance with government guidelines.

    Protective equipment will be provided to ground and cabin crew while all aircraft will be furnished with antibacterial sanitizers compliant with the Bureau of Quarantine.

    All AirAsia aircraft, which are fitted with hospital-standard High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters, will also be sent for thorough disinfection after each flight with the use of disinfectant approved by the Bureau of Quarantine and the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines.

    AirAsia is complying with advice and regulations from the local government, civil aviation authorities, global and local health agencies, including the World Health Organization.

    AirAsia continues to closely monitor the situation and reserves the right to announce further policies according to the latest developments.

    The credit can be redeemed within 730 calendar days from the issuance date. The travel date of the new booking can fall on any date within the published flight schedule on AirAsia’s website.

    The two options are only applicable for direct online bookings made via airasia.com.

  • AirAsia India starts domestic flight bookings for 21 destinations

    AirAsia India starts domestic flight bookings for 21 destinations

    Low-cost carrier AirAsia India has started bookings for 21 destinations ahead of the resumption of domestic flights from Monday.

    In a release, the airline said it would strictly follow the SOPs (standard operating procedures) and guidelines laid out by the regulatory bodies to enable safe travel.

    AirAsia flights are open for booking for travel to all its 21 destinations where it flies to in the country, the release issued on Saturday said.

    “We are appreciative of the government working collaboratively with all stakeholders to define the new protocols to help open up domestic flying in a calibrated manner keeping the health and safety of passengers and the airline crew in focus.

    “The new SOPs and guidelines will pave the way for ensuring and instilling a sense of confidence amongst passengers,” Sunil Bhaskaran, AirAsia India Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, said.

    Among other measures, the airline would facilitate regular disinfection procedures to control or kill infectious agents using the cleaning, sanitizing, and disinfecting products approved by the public health authority and aircraft manufacturer.

    According to the release, passengers would have to mandatorily web check-in, complete their self-declaration form, and download the Aarogya Setu app before they arrive at the airport. They have also been advised to report two to four hours prior to the departure time to allow enhanced health and safety processes to take place.

    Commercial flight services remain suspended since March 25 when the nationwide lockdown to prevent the spreading of coronavirus infections was imposed.

  • AirAsia India resuming domestic flight operations on Monday

    AirAsia India resuming domestic flight operations on Monday

    Domestic flight operations are all set to resume in a calibrated manner from Monday (May 25). AirAsia India is also resuming domestic flight operations tomorrow, the carrier informed on Sunday,

    In a tweet AirAsia India said, “AirAsia India is resuming domestic flight operations tomorrow, i.e. 25.05.2020. Passengers undertaking travel to any state are required to read, understand, and comply with the health and other protocols prescribed by the destination State / UT for airline travelers.”

    Note that the government has fixed upper, lower fare limits for the next three months to ensure there is no overcharging by airlines in view of an expected rush of passengers and heightened demand for tickets.

    It is worth mentioning that IndiGo, SpiceJet, AirAsia India and Vistara started taking bookings for flights starting May 25. The government had announced on May 17 that domestic flight operations will remain suspended until May 31. However, a day later, the union civil aviation minister had said the decision to allow flights is also up to state governments.

    On May 20, Aviation Minister Hardeep Singh Puri surprised people by announcing that the government will allow domestic passenger flights to resume from May 25 in a calibrated manner.

  • All AirAsia Credit Accounts extended to 2 years automatically

    All AirAsia Credit Accounts extended to 2 years automatically

    With the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, most people will have to put their travel plans on hold. AirAsia has recently announced that they are giving all customers the option to retain the value of their flight booking with a Credit Account which can be redeemed within 730 calendar days (2 years) from the issuance date.

    For those that have redeemed their credit account earlier, it appears that the low-cost-carrier is extending the validity automatically for all guests that are affected by the COVID-19 travel restrictions. In the initial announcement, guests that have received their credit earlier were required to request for an extension but now we are told by a reliable source that no further action is required.

    If you have an upcoming flight and if you haven’t done anything yet, you would still need to request for credit via the AVA chatbot. Your booking reference code and BIG ID number will be required. If you’ve received the credit in May 2020, it will be valid until May 2022. Since AirAsia typically opens up most of its seats for booking a year in advance, you could possibly use it for trips in 2023.

    During the early phase of the outbreak, AirAsia had initially offered 365-days validity for account credit. Earlier this month, the airline has doubled the validity period to 730 days to provide greater flexibility to its guests. Cash refunds are not available which is similar to Malindo, Malaysia Airlines and Firefly.

    AirAsia’s 2-year credit validity is longer than most airlines in the industry. Most airlines are offering travel vouchers or credit that are valid until 31st December 2020 or up to 1-year.

    Apart from requesting for credit, AirAsia is also offering all guests the option to make unlimited flight changes. This is applicable for any new travel date on the same route before 31st October and you can change unlimited times without additional costs subject to seat availability.

    These options are available for guests that book via AirAsia’s online channels. For those that have made group bookings via travel agents are urged to contact their respective agents for further assistance.

    For those that have purchased the limited RM499 unlimited pass, AirAsia has also extended its travel validity to 30 Junxte 2021.

  • AirAsia Indonesia extends flight operation suspension until May 31

    AirAsia Indonesia extends flight operation suspension until May 31

    Low-cost carrier AirAsia Indonesia has extended the suspension of flight operations in Indonesia until May 31. Previously, the airline had announced it would suspend flight operations within the country until May 7.

    Following the latest decision on the suspension of operations due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which was announced on Friday, earlier plans to resume limited flight operations from Surabaya in East Java to two Malaysian cities, namely Kuala Lumpur and Johor Bahru, on May 18 have been shelved.

    According to a statement, the company will gradually begin QZ-coded scheduled flights on selected international and domestic routes starting on June 1, in response to the extension of large-scale social restrictions (PSBB) in several regions.

    Passengers affected by the suspension are advised to look for the latest information on airasia.com or the carrier’s app.

    All AirAsia Indonesia passengers will be required to wear face masks throughout their flight, from check-in to baggage collection at their destination airport. The company also urged them to bring a spare face mask and hand sanitizer.

  • AirAsia studying possibility of increasing airfares

    AirAsia studying possibility of increasing airfares

    Low-cost airline AirAsia Bhd is studying the possibility of increasing its airfares in the future, following the implementation of the Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO). Executive chairman Datuk Kamarudin Meranun said discussions are ongoing to decide if there is an urgent need for AirAsia to increase its airfares in the future.

    “Even if there is an increase, it will not be significant.

    “At the moment, we do not know exactly how much the increase would be (if any) as we do not know the total number of AirAsia aircraft that would be allowed to operate during the CMCO,” he told reporters after the launch of the group’s charity campaign, “Derma Dengan Ikhlas” here today.

    On Tuesday, some local carriers warned that passengers will likely have to pay over 50% or more for airfares if social distancing is implemented onboard aircraft, as proposed by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) in view of the Covid-19.

    Malaysia Airlines Bhd and Malindo Air said the need for social distancing among passengers would result in a spike in airfares by up to 54%.

    Malaysia Airlines said this was seen in Thailand after its government-regulated empty seating between passengers, which resulted in domestic fares increasing by over 50%.

    “We will continue to drive dynamic pricing based on capacity and demand. Promotions will surely be ascertained periodically as and when it is feasible.

    “We expect customers to be more concern about safety and security,” it said in a news report yesterday.

    Kamarudin said the increase of fares would be subject to costs and AirAsia would try as much as possible not to increase its fares so as not to burden passengers.

    “Our intention is resuming flight (operations) is to ensure that operations can continue and not because we are aiming for profit, as, in the current challenging situation, it is difficult for airline companies to make a profit.

    “As long as we can pay for management costs such as maintenance and so on, it is sufficient,” he said.

    He said the operation of airline companies is subjected to government directives, hence, all plans will have to comply with the government’s decision, especially during the CMCO.

    “So, when we made a plan and when the announcement by the government is not in line with our plans, we have to change it,” he said.

    Meanwhile, Kamarudin said AirAsia has used RM50,000 from its contribution fund to purchase essential goods from ST Rosyam Mart supermarket to be distributed to more than 1,000 families and various communities, including single mothers, non-governmental organizations, mosques and welfare organizations.

    “So far, we have provided assistance to more than 50 locations and we realized that there are more communities that are in need of such assistance,” he said.

    The airline had launched a public digital donation drive on April 5 and has managed to raise RM911,000 to date.

  • Cebu Pacific, Cebgo, AirAsia flights still canceled until May 31

    Cebu Pacific, Cebgo, AirAsia flights still canceled until May 31

    All domestic and international flights of the Cebu Pacific, Cebgo, and AirAsia airlines remain canceled until May 31, 2020 in line with the implementation of the modified enhanced community quarantine in Metro Manila.

    “We encourage passengers on canceled flights to manage their bookings online via the website, before their scheduled travel dates,” Cebu Pacific said in an advisory on Wednesday.

    When rescheduling, passengers may select from either free rebooking or full travel fund.

    Under free rebooking, passengers may rebook to any travel date within three months. Change rebooking fees and fare difference are waived, according to Cebu

    For a full travel fund, passengers may place the full cost of the ticket in a travel fund valid for one year. This fund can then be used within one year either to book a flight up to one-year ahead or pay for add-ons like baggage allowance and seat selection.

    If the travel fund is not used within one year, passengers can also apply for a full refund, said Cebu Pacific.

    Processing of refunds will start after the community quarantine is lifted and regular work schedules resume.

    “However, due to the unprecedented volume of requests for refunds, the process will take as long as three to four billing cycles,” the airlines company said.

    Passengers with booked flights from June 1 to September 30, 2020 who want to change travel plans have the option to rebook to any other travel date within one year or place the full cost of the ticket in a travel fund valid for one year.

    Meanwhile, AirAsia also said it is offering provisions for passengers affected by flight cancellations following the government directive.

    “Guests with existing flight bookings made on or before 12 May 2020 with a departure date between 23 March and 31 July 2020 will now be able to select from a range of extended flexibility options for future travel,” the airlines said in a separate advisory.

    AirAsia said one of these options is unlimited flight change or changing to a new travel date before October 31 on the same route for unlimited number of times and without any additional cost subject to seat availability. The other option is a credit account or retaining the value of the flight booking for future travel with AirAsia to be redeemed within 730 calendar days from the issuance date.

  • AirAsia Unlimited pass extended until June

    AirAsia Unlimited pass extended until June

    If you’ve bought AirAsia’s Unlimited Pass a couple of months ago, the low-cost carrier has announced that they are extending the travel period validity until 30th June 2021. The extension is expected since international travel is still not permitted in Malaysia due to the COVID-19 outbreak.

    According to AirAsia’s Facebook post, the new validity date should be reflected under the AirAsia Deals page under the ‘My Purchases’ tab. The updated FAQ states that the booking must be made at least 14 days in advance and the last available booking date is 16 June 2021.

    For those who have booked their flights on or before 17th of April with a departure date between 23rd March and 30th June are allowed to make unlimited flight change to any date before 31st October 2020 on the same route for unlimited times without any additional costs subject to seat availability. Alternatively, they can request to retain the value of the booking as a credit which can be redeemed within 2 years (730 days) from the issuance date.

    The AirAsia Unlimited Pass was introduced on 29 February and it was seen as a move to cushion the economic impact of COVID-19 on the travel industry. The pass costs RM499 and it allows you to take unlimited AirAsia X flights to destinations in Australia, Japan, China, Korea, India and also Honolulu via Osaka.

    The pass only covers the base fare of the flight and it doesn’t include taxes, airport charges, regulatory fees as well as add-ons such as seat reservation, meals and check-in luggage allowance. Initially, the pass covers a travel period from 2nd March 2020 to 2nd March 2021 and it is now extended by approximately 4 months.
