  • Bamboo Airways signs $110-mln deal with European maintenance firm

    Bamboo Airways signs $110-mln deal with European maintenance firm

    Bamboo Airways has signed a EUR100-million ($110 million) contract with European aircraft maintenance firm Lufthansa Technik AG to service its airplanes.

    Lufthansa Technik would also supply materials for its Boeing 787 and Airbus A320 aircraft, the airline said in a statement.

    It also signed MoUs with two other European firms, AVIAREPS and Airbridge International Agencies for market expansion and cargo transport consultancy.

    One more, with Air France Industries KLM Engineering & Maintenance for engine maintenance, will be signed Thursday.

    The airline launched its first commercial flight between Hanoi and Frankfurt late last month, and plans to operate on the Hanoi-London route from March 22, it said.

  • AirAsia brings back fuel surcharge

    AirAsia brings back fuel surcharge

    AirAsia Malaysia will be reintroducing fuel surcharge beginning March 8 for all its domestic and international flights.

    The reintroduction of the fuel surcharge by AirAsia is to offset the escalating jet fuel prices, which has exceeded US$120 per barrel. AirAsia has not been charging fuel surcharge since it was abolished in 2015. The airline said it has been absorbing the oil price increase over the years.

    The fuel surcharge will be applicable for new flight bookings made on and after March 8. All bookings made before March 8 will not be affected.

    The fuel surcharge rates for all domestic routes within Malaysia is RM10 while rates for international routes within one to two hours is RM25.

    The rates for international routes for two to three hours, three to four hours and more than four hours are RM35, RM50 and RM60, respectively.

    AirAsia Malaysia Chief Executive Officer Riad Asmat said airlines the world over are affected by the rising oil prices and the continuous upward spiral caused by the situation in Eastern Europe and other external factors have made it imperative for the airlines to reintroduce the fuel surcharge, despite the low-cost operator’s best efforts to resist it for as long as it could.

    “Since we last abolished fuel surcharges in 2015 when the global fuel price was as low as US$48 a barrel, we have faced numerous occasions when the fluctuations have caused other airlines to start imposing surcharges.

    “However, at AirAsia, we have been absorbing past increases in oil prices to continue to provide the best value to our guests. Unfortunately, the current situation where the oil price has shot up more than 160 per cent than what it was in 2015 has made it no longer sustainable,” he said in a statement today.

    Riad hoped that the fuel surcharge will only be a temporary measure.

    He said AirAsia will continue to ensure its fares remain as low as possible despite the fuel surcharge.

    Even when faced with the devastating Covid-19 pandemic, AirAsia still managed to deflect the rising operational costs and continued to offer low fares to the people, he explained.

    “We will continue to monitor the situation and at the same time capitalise on technological and digital innovations as ways to keep costs at bay and make air travel affordable for everyone.”

    AirAsia removed its fuel surcharge twice in the past. It first introduced a fuel surcharge in 2005 and abolished it in 2008, and later reintroduced it in 2011.

    In 2015, the jet fuel price was at its high of US$78 per barrel but AirAsia removed the fuel surcharge as soon as the price went down to around US$48 per barrel that year.

  • Airlines resume hiring as they embark on recovery

    Airlines resume hiring as they embark on recovery

    Bamboo Airways, Vietjet and Vietravel Airlines have started hiring again after an extended recruitment freeze due to Covid-19. Bamboo Airways has posted hiring announcements for many positions, including pilots, flight engineers and cabin crew aid plans to expand its fleet and destinations.

    The airline is offering captains a monthly salary of US$13,300 for flying wide-body Boeing 787s and $10,450 for narrow-body Airbus and Embraer jets, which are higher than pre-pandemic levels. Nguyen Ngoc Trong, its deputy general director, said the carrier is seeking permission to expand its 30-strong fleet by five to 10 aircraft each year.

    It operated at maximum capacity during the nine-day Tet, or Lunar New Year, holidays in early this month, and plans to launch new services to the US and Europe in the second quarter of this year, he added.

    Budget airlines Vietjet has also posted notices seeking captains and co-pilots for Airbus A320Fs and A330s.

    Vietravel Airlines is hiring pilots for its Airbus A320/A321 fleet as well as cabin crew.

    Representatives of Vietravel Airlines said the recruitment is to “ready for the expansion of the fleet” and “launch new routes to northeast and southeast Asian nations in the third quarter.”

    But human resources could be scarce this year as airlines resume hiring after their Covid-19 woes, they added.

    Vietnam has resumed commercial flights to 20 of 28 countries and territories that it operated direct flights to before the pandemic.

    The country also ended all restrictions on international flights on Feb. 15.

    From March 15, Vietnam will reopen inbound and outbound tourism under new normal conditions, with foreign tourists allowed to visit the country without booking tour packages.

    In the best case scenario, Vietnam’s aviation industry would transport 42-43 million passengers in 2022, or around 50 percent of pre-pandemic numbers, Bui Minh Dang, deputy head of the air transportation department at the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam, said.

  • AirAsia prepares regional routes to spur intra-Asean travel

    AirAsia prepares regional routes to spur intra-Asean travel

    AirAsia aims to spur intra-Asean travel with new regional routes, while Thai AirAsia hopes the Red War football match in July will drive demand from neighbors to Thailand.

    The company is working on new destinations in Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaysia to replace the Chinese market, said Tony Fernandes, chief executive of Capital A, formerly AirAsia Group, which also owns Thai AirAsia via the AirAsia Aviation Group.

    He said he already discussed with Thailand’s ministers regarding new international routes besides well-known destinations, such as Jakarta to Hua-Hin.

    However, the implementation in Thailand will largely depend on Covid-19 tests and other travel regulations which remain the most critical obstacle for the industry.

    Tassapon Bijleveld, executive chairman of Asia Aviation, the majority shareholder of Thai AirAsia (TAA), said the airline is preparing bundle packages for Manchester United and Liverpool football tournaments which combine match tickets and airline tickets.

    The game will attract a number of sports fans, particularly from neighboring countries as the viral situation should have subsided by July.

    He said every country in Southeast Asia has to cooperate to ensure seamless tourism which can help offset the lack of travelers from China, Japan, and South Korea who might resume international travel in the second half.

    TAA plans to operate international flights to Singapore, Malaysia, and Vietnam next month with a target of 70-80% load factor in order to avoid losses.

    He said travel regulations are the main concern for the airline as travel demand could not strongly rebound despite the reopening, so mandatory RT-PCR tests must be removed by the first half.

    “We have to get back to the real world. The government must be brave because the current viral situation is not that severe compared to the previous waves as more Thais are already inoculated,” Mr Tassapon said.

    Capital A also focuses on the growth of airasia Super App, its travel and lifestyle platform, which officially launched in Thailand on Monday.

    Varut Vutipongsatorn, country head of airasia Super App (Thailand), said it has built the foundation for the platform over the past year. This year it will expand business throughout the country, starting with the Northeast.

    The goals in Thailand are to add 1-2 new services each year, increasing air travel bookings as well as bundle packages between air tickets and hotels by 20 times and 40 times, respectively, within 2026.

    This year, food delivery will expand its service nationwide, while door-to-door delivery within each province under airasia Xpress and a ride-hailing taxi service will start from March.

  • AirAsia X signs cargo deal with Teleport in bid to boost freight

    AirAsia X signs cargo deal with Teleport in bid to boost freight

    The announcement came just days after Capital A revealed plans to reorganize the airline division and diversify in an online press conference. During the conference, Capital A’s chief executive Tony Fernandes said that for the foreseeable short-term future, the focus of AirAsia Aviation Group will be on short-term travel within the Southeast Asian region.

    The Teleport deal comes as AirAsia X tries to boost its cargo revenue to make up for the lack of revenue on the passenger side as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

    On January 26, 2022, AirAsia X announced that it had partnered with French transport, logistics, and supply chain GEODIS to increase cargo capacity in Asia Pacific.

    AirAsia X CEO Benyamin Ismail said that the company is in talks with other “major global clients that have air cargo requirements”.

    “We are also in discussions with several other major global clients that have air cargo requirements, particularly to where we have established bases and flying rights. It’s just two months post our restructuring and the appetite for expansion of our cargo operations is significant. This dovetails neatly into one of the core pillars of our combination carrier strategy. For the foreseeable future, cargo revenue will underpin our route strategy and passenger revenue for the first time, will be ancillary,” Ismail said in a statement.

    COO Captain Suresh Kumar Bangah said that the airline will only fly when it’s profitable and that AirAsia X hopes to bring back more aircraft over the course of the year.

    “We will only fly if it’s profitable to fly. With our restructured low-cost base, we can fly profitably where other airlines may not be able to and this is a significant advantage to us.  We intend to add a further one plane a month to full service from now and we hope to have our full fleet operational by the end of the third quarter. As more aircraft are brought back into service, we are able to recall back pilots and crew who have been through a tough period during this pandemic,” Bangah said.

  • An AirAsia flight was diverted after passengers spotted a snake on their plane

    An AirAsia flight was diverted after passengers spotted a snake on their plane

    Passengers on an AirAsia flight had their trip rerouted after spotting an uninvited passenger on the plane.

    In a video shared on TikTok by user @edal8808, what appears to be a long snake can be seen slithering through an overhead light fixture. In the caption, the user wrote that the flight, which was headed from the Malaysian capital city of Kuala Lumpur to Tawau, had to instead make an emergency landing in Kuching, according to a translation of the text.

    AirAsia did not immediately respond to a request for comment from NPR. However, the airline’s chief security officer Liong Tien Ling confirmed the incident in a statement to CNN.

    “AirAsia is aware of the incident that occurred on the flight from Kuala Lumpur to Tawau on Thursday. As soon as the captain was notified, the plane was diverted to Kuching to be disinfected,” he said.

    He went on to state that neither passengers nor guests were in danger, according to the outlet.

    Passengers were able to continue their journey to Tawau that same day, multinational news network CNA reports.

    Still, travelers with upcoming flights have no need to worry that their vacations may turn into a real-life version of Snakes on a Plane. In a statement obtained by CNA, Ling noted that what happened on Thursday’s place is not a common occurrence.

    “This is a very rare incident which can occur on any aircraft from time to time,” he explained.

    The video has been viewed more than 2 million times since being posted on Thursday, and footage of the unexpected discovery has since spread to other social media platforms like Twitter. However, it is unclear if the TikTok user who initially shared the video was the one to record it and they did not respond to a request for comment from NPR.

    It’s not the first time snakes have found their way onto passenger flights. In 2019, a woman traveling home to Scotland from Australia encountered a nasty surprise when she went to unpack and found a snake curled up in her luggage. There was even an occasion where a pilot had to conduct an emergency landing after finding a snake in the cockpit.

    Malaysia’s Raya Airways denies acquisition talks with AirAsia

    Malaysian air cargo carrier Raya Airways has denied being in talks with budget airline AirAsia Group Bhd for an acquisition, it said in a statement on Monday (Jan 24).

    The company said the news reported over the weekend about ongoing talks was factually incorrect.

    The weekly reported that the airline has approached businessman Ishak Ismail whose family owns Raya Airways, to acquire the carrier, and are in early conversations.

    “After consulting with Raya’s shareholders and Board of Directors, we would like to clarify that Raya and its subsidiaries/affiliate companies are not in any talks with AirAsia Group Berhad or any other parties for the acquisition of the Company or any part of its businesses,” it said.

    The carrier said its operational and financial position is strengthening and it is committed to the next stage of growth.

    Malaysia’s AirAsia eyes air cargo carrier

    Malaysia’s flagship budget airline AirAsia Group is in early acquisition discussions for air cargo carrier Raya Airways to beef up its logistics business, The Edge Weekly reported on Saturday (Jan 22) citing sources.

    The business weekly said the airline has approached businessman Ishak Ismail whose family owns Raya Airways, to acquire the carrier, and are in early conversations, according to people familiar with the matter.

    AirAsia and Raya Airways did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

    AirAsia’s logistics unit Teleport said in November it was aiming to expand its fleet of cargo planes and scale up its freight business.

    Top executives at Raya Airways were not keen to sell the carrier, however, as they have plans for an initial public offering, the report said.

    AirAsia was last week classified as a PN17 firm by Malaysia’s stock exchange, a tag given to financially distressed firms. It said it was working on a plan to “regularise its financial condition”.

  • AirAsia India, SpiceJet make discount offers to spur ticket bookings

    AirAsia India, SpiceJet make discount offers to spur ticket bookings

    Domestic airlines AirAsia India and SpiceJet launched disco­unt schemes on Monday, offering tickets upwards of Rs 1,122. Bookings can be made between De­c­ember 27 and 31 and the discount is for tickets between Jan­uary 15 and April 15.

    The move is ex­pe­cted to stimulate forward bookings amid the Omicron scare that has led to increased curbs across states. While travel dem­and in Dec­ember remains str­ong and airlines continue to see around 380,000 daily passeng­ers, forward bookings are looking weak. Additionally, airlines are offering waivers in date change and rescheduling fees to provide better travel flexibility to customers.

    “We have not seen an impact in December but clearly Omicron is a dampener. With rising cases, people are in a wait-and-watch mode,” said a travel industry executive. Generally, airlines launch such offers for travel beginning February or March when demand gets weak, but this time around forwarding bookings are slow given Covid-19 uncertainties, he added.

  • AirAsia sets best performance

    AirAsia sets best performance

    Airasia Philippines has recorded its best performance yet since the Covid-19 pandemic hit in 2020, its officials said yesterday.

    Topping the list of AirAsia’s most preferred domestic flights within the peak Christmas travel period between December 20 to January 05 are Manila to Caticlan with 24 percent of total passenger booking, Manila to Tacloban with 15 percent, and Cebu to Manila with 14 percent.

    The recently resumed Hong Kong to Manila route, meanwhile tops the list of the airline’s current international flights.

    “We believe that it is important we enable our kababayans to travel to see their loved ones this holiday period to help boost their morale and make their Christmas celebrations even more special after almost two years of battling and living in a global health crisis. We look forward to increasing our flight frequencies and broadening our destinations as the situation improves. But for now, we are thankful to be among the preferred airlines of Filipino travelers,” AirAsia Philippines Spokesperson Steve Dailisan said.

    Dailisan said the significant rise in flight bookings is attributed not only to the relaxing of protocols but also to the longing of Filipinos to be with their families this Christmas season — some of whom have not seen each other for almost two years

    He said they continue to by strict safety protocols mandated by the government and as advised by medical experts

    “Guests are asked to follow implemented stringent safety measures on ground and in flight, such as physical distancing and the wearing of face masks,” Dailisan said.

  • Vietnam Airlines scores $1 bln discount on jet lease

    Vietnam Airlines scores $1 bln discount on jet lease

    Vietnam Airlines and Air Lease Corporation have agreed on a leasing discount exceeding $1 billion for 18 aircraft while the former face financial challenges amid the pandemic.

    U.S.-based ALC, one of the biggest aircraft leasers in the world with 450 jets, will reduce leasing charges by $420 million for the rest of the contract duration of existing jets while the remaining $600 million will be discounted on new leases.

    Vietnam Airlines is leasing 16 jets from ALC, comprising 12 narrow-body A321 Neo and four wide-body Boeing B787-10.

    With the biggest fleet in Vietnam of over 100 jets, the national flag carrier is facing financial pressure in retaining its aircraft, with many routes suspended due to Covid-19.

    Restructuring its fleet and cutting costs are its main goals to overcome the Covid-19 crisis, the airline stated.

    CEO of the carrier Le Hong Ha said Tuesday the airline would have an oversupply of jets until 2025, and plans to sell 27 over the next two years.

  • Vietnam Airlines to sell 27 planes

    Vietnam Airlines to sell 27 planes

    Vietnam Airlines plans to sell 15 planes this month and 12 others in the next two years, its CEO said.

    “Vietnam Airlines plans to sell nine A321s and six ATR-72s in December. From 2022 to late 2023, an additional 12 A321s will be sold,” CEO Le Hong Ha told the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders Tuesday.

    The plan is aimed at reducing the number of aircraft Vietnam currently owns and accelerating its fleet modernization, replacing planes aged over 12 years, he explained, predicting that there would still be an aircraft surplus by 2025.

    Vietnam Airlines is estimated to have an excess of eight wide-body planes and 22 narrow-body equivalents next year. It currently has 106 aircraft, including 29 wide-body planes, and seven ATR-72s. It has sold two A321s in the last five months.

    With the civil aviation industry hard hit by Covid-19, Vietnam Airlines has removed seats from eight wide-body passenger planes and seven A321s to use as cargo- aircraft.

    The national flag carrier recorded a net loss of over VND3.5 trillion ($154.3 million) in the third quarter, a decrease compared to the first two quarters.

    As of September, the airlines’ total assets were valued at more than VND67 trillion, up more than VND4.5 trillion over the beginning of the year.

    Vietnam’s domestic aviation market in 2022 will be 70-75 percent of that in 2019, before the pandemic’s onset, and fully recover in 2023, he predicted.

  • AirAsia clarifies high fares

    AirAsia clarifies high fares

    AirAsia has denied that its airfares between the Peninsula and Sarawak are high as well as its unavailability for the Christmas and state election period.

    The low-cost airline operator said it has engaged continuously with the Ministry of Transport Sarawak (MoTS) and submitted applications to permanently increase its scheduled flight frequencies from Peninsular Malaysia and Sabah into Sarawak on several occasions since early this year, including the latest request submitted last week which included the operation of extra flights for the upcoming holiday season, Christmas and Chinese New Year.

    The airline said it received confirmation from MoTS and the Sarawak State Disaster Management Committee (SDMC) today for an additional 42 weekly flights from Peninsular Malaysia and Sabah into the state for a limited period from Dec 4 to Jan 5, 2022.

    This has brought the fares down from around RM1,000 one way to below RM200 for a Kuala Lumpur to Kuching flight and these were very quickly snapped up, it said.

    “AirAsia wishes to clarify its position with regards to the views and concerns expressed on social media that the airline is charging high fares for flights between Peninsular Malaysia and Sarawak for the upcoming Christmas and holiday season that coincides with the state election scheduled for Dec 18”, it said in a statement.

    Chief Executive Officer of AirAsia Malaysia Riad Asmat said as a low-cost carrier, the airline is in a volume business to pass on the lowest fares to its guests.

    “AirAsia’s operation is all about economies of scale where we need to achieve a high passenger volume so that costs can be spread among a sizable number of passengers, allowing us to offer travelers low fares and giving them great value for money.

    “Historically, our average fare for flights between Sarawak and Peninsular Malaysia has been around RM160 per one-way passenger. This takes into account the highest fares and the lowest, including when we offer zero fare promotional sales,” he said.

    Riad said AirAsia’s pricing model is similar to other airlines around the world and is based on supply and demand.

    “In abiding with the limited flight frequencies imposed by the SDMC resulting in a reduced supply of flight seats, AirAsia’s demand-based dynamic pricing mechanism has inevitably derived prices seen as unfavorable to buyers at this time. It must be remembered that this is also the same mechanism that we used to offer guests promotional fares from as low as RM99 one way earlier in October,” he said.

    He added that as a general rule, fares will be higher, closer to the travel date, and during peak holiday periods when their flights are already near full.

    “Buyers have already taken up to 90 percent of our capacity on most flights. The limitation on the number of flights available in the market is a key factor that has pushed the prices higher across all airlines”.

    Riad said for the record, AirAsia used to fly over 300 weekly flights into Sarawak pre-Covid, connecting Kuching, Sibu, Miri, and Bintulu to Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Johor Baru, Kota Kinabalu, and various other destinations in Malaysia.

    “Just for Kuala Lumpur – Kuching alone, we used to fly between 12 and 15 flights daily on this hugely popular route before Covid, but with the latest approval today, AirAsia will be flying 5 daily flights between Kuala Lumpur and Kuching which is a 67 per cent reduction in our capacity due to the restrictions by SDMC.

    “We comprehend that demand is there but at the moment we are unable to meet it until more flight approvals are given,” he said.

    Riad also expressed AirAsia’s sincere appreciation to SDMC and MoTS for the additional flight approval for the Christmas holiday season.

    “However, we would like to appeal to MOTS and SDMC to also approve our request for extra Chinese New Year flights, and to remove frequency restrictions on all the approved flights entirely to enable us to better manage cost efficiency and lower the fares for passengers.”

    AirAsia, Riad said has always pledged its full commitment and support towards the full reopening and resumption of travel and tourism activities in Sarawak.

    They were also looking forward to keep working closely with all relevant regulators, the federal and state governments, civil aviation and health authorities, and tourism bodies to ensure the highest conformity to standard operating procedures for every flight.

  • AirAsia ramps up flight frequencies

    AirAsia ramps up flight frequencies

    AirAsia Philippines continues to increase flight frequencies to domestic destinations to support the surge of air travel demand during the Christmas season.

    The low-cost carrier said it has restored 30 percent of its pre-pandemic capacity, doubling and tripling its frequencies for most of its domestic destinations.

    The airline has also resumed its flights to Hongkong and Singapore to service overseas Filipino workers and business travelers.

    “We are banking on revenge travel for a very strong 2022 recovery,” AirAsia Philippines spokesperson Steve Dailisan said.

    Dailisan said people now have the confidence to plan for their future trips as reflected in the forward bookings from 31 to 120 days.

    “This booking behavior can be significantly attributed to the continuing downtrend of daily COVID-19 infections and the ongoing progress of the government’s nationwide vaccination program,” he said.

    “While travel restrictions have been significantly eased and simplified, we call on our guests to never allow themselves to be complacent. Strict adherence to health and safety protocols must be observed on the ground and in flight,” Dailisan said.

    AirAsia said travelers can currently avail of the airline’s P20 base fare if they book up to Dec. 20 from Manila to Cebu, Puerto Princesa, Iloilo, Cagayan de Oro, Davao, Kalibo, General Santos, Zamboanga and Bacolod. Travel period is up to Sep. 30 next year.

    “AirAsia has been synonymous with great value through the democratization of air travel with low fares and great service. We are sharing this milestone with our guests who have been very loyal to AirAsia and are now part of the growing Super App ecosystem,” Dailisan said.

    AirAsia Philippines said 100 percent of its flying crew and 99.34 percent of the whole workforce have been fully vaccinated against COVID.
