  • Bamboo Airways owes director $329M

    Bamboo Airways owes director $329M

    Bamboo Airways owes one of its directors, Le Thai Sam, almost VND7.73 trillion ($329.50 million) as of April 10, according to a meeting on Tuesday.

    Sam, who became a board member in July last year, will soon receive a 21.7% stake from FLC, which has been operating the airline since the beginning, according to a document made public at the Bamboo Airway’s extraordinary shareholders’ meeting.

    As he already owns a 12.5% stake in the airline, the transfer from FLC will increase his ownership to more than one-third of the carrier.

    Since last year he has been lending the company cash at zero or low-interest rates and required no collateral to ensure the company could continue its operations despite many difficulties after its founder Trinh Van Quyet was arrested on stock manipulation charges.

    Sam, 59, has 30 years of experience in property, finance and banking. He used to be one of the directors of Development Investment Construction (DIC).

    Shareholders of Bamboo Airways on Tuesday approved the company’s proposal to issue more shares to increase its charter capital by 62% to VND30 trillion.

    The company will look to sell the shares to strategic investors with deep pockets who are willing to lend the company at least VND1 trillion.

  • Vietnam Airlines posts profit in Q1

    Vietnam Airlines posts profit in Q1

    Vietnam Airlines posted a pre-tax profit of VND19.3 billion ($822,500) in the first quarter after losses in 12 consecutive quarters. The airline saw revenue doubling year-on-year to VND23.64 trillion, the highest quarter record since Q1 2020.

    It is near the pre-pandemic levels of 2019. The state-owned carrier however still posted a post-tax loss of VND37.3 billion.

    The pre-tax profit, however, is still considered a strong signal of recovery after the carrier plunged into major financial difficulties due to Covid-19.

    The airline said that in the first quarter of this year, the domestic market recovered, and China lifted its Covid-19 restrictions, which resulted in a surge in passenger numbers.

    There was also high occupancy on flights to the United States., Europe and Australia, it added.

    The company served 5.1 million passengers in the first quarter, up 63% year-on-year. A weaker U.S. dollar and lower-than-expected fuel prices also helped reduce costs.

    But Vietnam Airlines, which operates Pacific Airlines and Vietnam Air Services Company, still sees high risks in the future as the domestic market remains 40% lower than pre-pandemic.

    It added that global geopolitical tensions will likely still affect the aviation industry in 2024.

  • AirAsia X expands China network

    AirAsia X expands China network

    AirAsia X (AAX) continues to expand its China network with two weekly flights to Beijing restarting last week after almost a three-year pause.

    The flight from Kuala Lumpur lands at Beijing Daxing International Airport at 0105, while the return flight from Beijing arrives in Kuala Lumpur International Airport (Terminal 2) at 0830.

    AirAsia X Malaysia CEO Benyamin Ismail said: “Our service resumption to Beijing reflects our commitment to boosting our network in China, which has historically been one of our biggest and most popular markets and providing our guests with more options to travel affordably to and from Beijing from Kuala Lumpur.”

    Flights will ramp up from twice weekly on Thursday and Saturday to four weekly flights starting 1 June 2023 to meet growing forecast demand, further boosting travel and tourism in the region.

    “More expansion in China is on the horizon for AAX as we plan to relaunch more routes and introduce more unique, less travelled destinations in China in the near future,” he concluded.

    Flight Schedule between Kuala Lumpur (KUL) and Beijing-Daxing (PKX):

  • AirAsia Xpanding Services To China And Australia

    AirAsia Xpanding Services To China And Australia

    Australians have another way to get to Asia now AirAsia X restarted its Kuala Lumpur to the Gold Coast service yesterday. The nostalgic service retraced AirAsia X’s first-ever route, launched over 25 years ago.

    AirAsia X started the Kuala Lumpur to Queensland’s Gold Coast in November 2007, but it has been suspended for more than two years due to the pandemic restrictions. The Gold Coast is one of Australia’s premier tourist destinations for domestic and international travelers and has been one of AirAsia X’s most popular destinations.

    Radar24.com, flight D7200 departed Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL) on Friday at 23:43 for the 6,500 kilometers (4,000 miles) flight to the Gold Coast. The flight was operated by a nine-year-old Airbus A330-300, registration 9M-XXK and manufacturer serial number 1433.

    After 7:51 hours of flying, it landed at Gold Coast Airport (OOL) at 09:34 yesterday morning. The A330-300 was on the ground for just over two hours before departing at 11:36 and arriving back in Kuala Lumpur at 17:44. It then returned to Australia as flight D7288, arriving at Sydney Airport (SYD) at 09:45 this morning.

    Fleet data from ch-aviation.com shows that AirAsia X (AAX) has a fleet of thirteen A330-300s, with three inactive. The data shows it also has 20 Airbus A321XLRs, 15 A330-900neos, and one A330-300 on order.

    AirAsia X CEO Benyamin Ismail was on the flight. He said it was a crucial day for the airline that will “strengthen the ties between Malaysia and Australia.

    “The Gold Coast will always hold a special place in our hearts, and what makes this announcement even more of a major milestone is that AAX is now the only airline connecting Kuala Lumpur directly to the Gold Coast and to Queensland on the whole.

    “Our newest route now provides the most affordable and convenient air travel option for guests who want to explore one of Australia’s most popular tourist destinations and for Australians seeking to visit Malaysia or continue on throughout Asia with our vast global network, including to leisure favorites like Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, India and more.”

    In March, AAX resumed flights from Kuala Lumpur to Shanghai and Hangzhou in China and restarted services to Beijing. Flight D7342 departed KUL on March 30th at 19:15 and landed at Beijing Daxing International Airport (PKX) at 00:55 on Friday. The Airbus A330-300, registration (M-XBF), left Beijing at 03:32 and, after a 5:49 hour flight, landed in Kuala Lumpur at 09:21.

    The route will operate twice weekly and will stimulate business travel and tourism in both directions. Now that China has resumed issuing tourist visas, AAX believes it will see a surge in demand for flights between KL and PKX. AirAsia X last operated the route on April 12th, 2020, although it operated in and out of Beijing Capital Airport (PEK).

    The airline plans to ramp up Beijing frequency to four flights weekly starting from June 1st to meet growing forecast demand. Beyond that, AAX is planning more expansion to more unique, less traveled destinations in China soon.

  • AirAsia X continues to recover quarter by quarter

    AirAsia X continues to recover quarter by quarter

    Malaysian long-haul low-cost AirAsia X is returning to recovery, reporting improvements in revenues, profits, and costs after some very difficult years during the Covid crisis. The carrier expects to benefit this year from the relaunch of its most profitable routes and gradually grow the fleet again, it said on February 22. AirAsia X continues to recover quarter by quarter.

    After changing the accounting period for its financial year 2022 from July instead of January, FY22 includes six quarters between July 2021 and December 2022. This makes comparisons with previous years meaningless. The net profit for FY22 was RM 33 million, with revenues of RM 878.2 million, as it carried 417.195 passengers at a 78 percent load factor. Almost all of that was generated in the second half of 2022 when lockdowns and travel restrictions in most of its key markets in Asia were lifted. The airline already reported a profit for its September quarter.

    As far as a fifth or sixth quarter says anything, they at least confirm that the airline is further recovering. Revenues grew from RM 100.1 million in Q5 (July-September) to RM 339.3 million in Q6 (October-December), with a net profit from RM 25.1 million to RM 153.5 million. For reference, in Q4 (October-December) FY19, AirAsia X produced an RM-95.8 million net loss, revenues of RM 1.196 billion, and carried 1.6 million passengers.

    Passengers carried grew significantly quarter on quarter, from 79.557 to 337.638. That positively affected revenues per available seat kilometer (RASK), which improved from RM 17.62 to RM 19.96. In contrast, costs per available seat kilometer (CASK) excluding fuel went down from RM 6.95 to RM 1.42. AirAsia X resumed services to Australia (Perth, Melbourne, Sydney), New Zealand (Auckland), Japan (Tokyo Haneda and Sapporo), Taiwan (Taipei), Saudi Arabia (Jeddah), and Indonesia (Bali) in the final quarter of 2022, growing the network to fourteen destinations.

    AirAsia X has high hopes for the reopening of China, although bookings are currently below expectations. It recently resumed services to South Korea (Busan) and will launch flights to Turkey later this year. Istanbul was already announced as a new destination in June last year.

    The airline currently operates a fleet of seven Airbus A330-300s with seven more to join shortly but has an appetite for three more. “As we rise up to meet the ever-thriving demand for flights, we are diligent in ensuring that aircraft within the Company’s fleet will be operational within the stipulated timeline, with all safety requirements met. As we speak, we are also in varying degrees of engagement with third-party aircraft lessors for the induction of additional aircraft within its fleet. By the year 2024, we expect to have a total of seventeen A330

  • Airasia CEO says the high rates aren’t going anywhere

    Airasia CEO says the high rates aren’t going anywhere

    Even low-cost carriers, which struggle to increase capacity amidst labor shortages, soaring fuel prices, and closed airspace, have set prices that have stumped travelers.And if you think this is going anywhere, it’s not – at least that’s according to AirAsia’s CEO Tony Fernandes.

    Speaking last week at the Aviation Festival Asia in Singapore, Fernandes revealed his belief that airlines have been under-pricing their services and that the industry has a way to go in charging passengers an appropriate price.

    However, higher airfares have not deterred or slowed down flight demands or demand projection, and Fernandes believes these airfares are more authentic prices that should have been charged pre-pandemic.

    “After not having flown for three years, passengers’ value of travel has also increased,” Fernando said.

    With many airlines facing challenges that hinder their ability to maintain and increase required capacity, classic supply and demand become a consideration. A shortage of available seats cannot meet the heightened demand, so Fernandes believes passengers can expect to be greeted with higher airfares this year.

    Alongside this, airlines cannot acquire more planes due to the manufacturers’ ability to speed up production rates impacted by the pandemic. Without new planes readily available and old planes suffering from technical setbacks, carriers have to outsource third-party agreements for wet leasing and maintenance, increasing expenses.

    Fernandes said AirAsia has faced these challenges, but the low-cost carrier will have its fleet of over 200 planes back in service by May.

    “The main obstacle for us has been getting our planes back into active service, and bringing about 204 planes back is no easy feat,” he said

    “And what was initially predicated on being finished by May of next year, we’ll be able to do by May of this year.”

    The global commercial aviation industry struggles to get back on its feet due to similar problems AirAsia, so, unfortunately for travellers, getting back to pre-pandemic prices may still take a while.

    AirAsia records over 1 million seats sold during its FREE* Seats campaign

    AirAsia’s first FREE* Seats Campaign for the year launched last Friday, aimed at further revilatlising the travel and tourism industry in Asean, has proven to be one of its BIGGEST hits yet, with a whopping 1.2 million seats sold across both short haul and long haul flights in less than a week.

    There are still almost 4 million seats available for those eager to venture out, exclusively on the airasia Super App and website, until this Sunday for travel between 1 March 2023 and 10 December 2023. Guests can simply click on the ‘Flights’ icon on the airasia Super App or website.

    The FREE* Seats Campaign, launched by Dato’ Sri Tiong King Sing, Minister of Tourism, Arts & Culture Malaysia (MOTAC), follows AirAsia’s pledge to fully support the Ministry in its mission to strengthen Malaysia as a multi-faceted and multi-destination attraction, and boost tourism in the region.

    This marks another record-breaking sale for AirAsia, whose ‘FREE* Seats Campaign’ is much awaited by the masses in and around Asean. The airline is set to fly 69 million guests annually which will provide a much welcomed boost to the travel sector in Malaysia and Asean.

    Tony Fernandes, Chief Executive Officer of Capital A said, “To see AirAsia breaking records and continuing to outdo itself year after year is motivating for me as we strived so hard to come out of the pandemic stronger than ever ‒ and here we are today with another amazing milestone to celebrate. It’s tremendously uplifting to see such strong demand across Asean destinations and this sale is a true testament that AirAsia is indeed the ‘People’s Airline’. As the saying goes ‒ size matters! When we say bigger and better, we mean more than just the numbers— from our incredibly low fares, better on-time performance and to our group-wide commitment to providing an enhanced travel experience for millions of our guests, who choose to fly with us each and every time. We aim to be more than just a ‘low cost airline’, but one that delivers top notch customer experience and constantly innovates to listen and meet our guests’ needs. You can always count on us to be bigger and better.”

    Adventure seekers have been snapping up FREE* seats by the minute to their favourite short haul destinations, with the likes of Langkawi and Penang in Malaysia, Phuket and Krabi in Thailand as well as Bali in Indonesia being amongst the most popular choices.

    Seats to other AirAsia and AirAsia X destinations which are also on sale now for a steal have also been in strong demand. Starting from RM99*, guests have snapped up thousands of international flights to Chennai, Kolkata, Hong Kong and the Maldives ‒ and to mid-long haul destinations such as Taipei, Seoul, Perth, Melbourne at as low as RM329*.

    To further strengthen its commitment to offer better flying experience for its guests, AirAsia also launched an industry-first Flight Delay Insurance* powered by Tune Protect. It offers a one-off payment of RM200 if the flight is delayed for a minimum of two hours from the originally scheduled departure time or any new departure time. It is now available for FREE to all guests who book their flights from 10 to 19 February 2023 for the travel period between 1 March 2023 and 10 December 2023. The insurance will be available for purchase starting 20 February 2023 from RM10 (one way) or RM14 (return) on the airasia Super App and the website.

  • AirAsia Malaysia Expands Flights to China

    AirAsia Malaysia Expands Flights to China

    AirAsia Malaysia (AK) has resumed flights to China and unveiled its plans for the country.

    The popular low cost carrier will resume four China destinations from two hubs – Kuala Lumpur and Kota Kinabalu to Macao, Shenzhen, Guangzhou and Kunming, with a total of 10 flights weekly and plans to increase the frequency by up to 27 flights weekly in March.

    The first flight to/from China recommenced on 10 February 2023 to/from Guangzhou with strong load factors both ways.

    Complementing the resumption of the short-haul destinations, AirAsia X Malaysia (D7) will reconnect Kuala Lumpur to Shanghai, Hangzhou and Chengdu with 10 flights weekly starting 1 March 2023.

    “China is an integral market for AirAsia Aviation Group, where we were the largest international low-cost carrier by capacity pre-pandemic,” said Riad Asmat, AirAsia Malaysia CEO. “Based on the impressive load factor of our inaugural flight to/from Guangzhou, the restart of our services will not only provide greater value and accessibility to essential travellers from Malaysia and tourists from China but will significantly boost tourism, trade and economic growth in both countries.”

    AirAsia Malaysia operates flights with Airbus A320 aircraft while AirAsia X Malaysia operates Airbus A330 aircraft featuring flatbed seats in its premium cabin.

    Benyamin Ismail, AirAsia X Malaysia CEO, said, “China will be our next primary market focus as we resume our growth strategy flying our most popular and profitable routes. We have witnessed tremendous success with our services to China in the past where we carried over 1.8 million guests to/from China in 2019 alone. We believe the recommencement of our services to China will be popular for business travellers, international students, those visiting family and relatives as well as stimulating regional demand between two large markets through great value airfares and services.”

    As the entry to China is currently limited to certain visas, travellers are advised to always check the very latest travel requirements of the country they are travelling to.

  • AirAsia offers 5 million free seats

    AirAsia offers 5 million free seats

    AirAsia pledged 5 million free seats last week to boost travel recovery across the 10 ASEAN countries.

    ASEAN’s top low-cost airline announced it was releasing the free seats* at a joint tourism briefing held with the Minister of Tourism, Arts & Culture, YB Dato’ Sri Tiong King Sing, on 10 February.

    According to the airline, 5 million free seats are available to travellers booking domestic and international flights linking in the 10 ASEAN countries; Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.

    Travellers can fly to Penang, Langkawi, Kuching, Sibu, Kota Kinabalu and more from MYR23* and to international destinations, including Bali, Krabi, Jakarta, Macao, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Phu Quoc, Ho Chi Minh City, Singapore and more from MYR60*.

    For those seeking to adventure out further, AirAsia X offers flights to Gold Coast, Busan, Taipei, Tokyo and more with all-in low fares from MYR329* one-way economy. The fares are available for bookings until 19 February 2023, with the travel period from 1 March 2023 to 10 December 2023.

    Malaysia’s Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture YB Dato’ Sri Tiong King Sing, said: “The tourism sector is a major economic driver for Malaysia, accounting for almost 15% of our gross domestic product (GDP), and air connectivity is the backbone of our tourism sector. As we target to receive 15.6 million tourist arrivals with MYR47.6 billion in tourism receipts for 2023, we would like to commend AirAsia for outlining its plan to revitalise the tourism industry and play an integral part in achieving this outcome.”

    AirAsia has carried close to 800 million guests in the past two decades. Pre-pandemic in 2019 alone, the airline carried over 25 million guests to Malaysia, more than 40 million guests to the ASEAN region, and 17 million guests to North Asia.

    Capital A CEO Tony Fernandes said: “As they say, size matters. When it comes to airlines, bigger is always better so we can leverage economies of scale and pass on to our guests in the form of lower fares and deliver more value and choice. AirAsia has been a major contributor to Malaysia and Asean’s GDP. AirAsia alone contributes to more than 2% of Malaysia’s GDP. You may think 2% is a small number, but for a big country like Malaysia, with a GDP worth more than MYR1.5 trillion, 2% is a sizable contribution.”

    Cebu Pacific aims to boost demand for Manila – Hong Kong travel

    Cebu Pacific (CEB) said on Sunday it will now fly four times daily to Hong Kong, but hopes to boost demand by offering airfare discounts.

    “After Hong Kong eased requirements for inbound travelers in December, the airline operated Manila-Hong Kong flights 32 times weekly until January due to the anticipated high traffic over the resumption of the destination amid the holiday season,” Cebu Pacific Director for Corporate Communications Carmina Reyes-Romero said.

    Cebu Pacific will fly 28 times weekly for February. The budget carrier hopes Filipinos will “take advantage of the easier travel protocols in Hong Kong,” Cebu Pacific said in an e-mailed statement.

    The airline targets to restore 100% of its pre-pandemic network and capacity in March this year.

    The budget carrier currently flies to 34 domestic destinations and is set to restore all its 25 international destinations in the first quarter.

    “Even better, every Juan can fly to Hong Kong for as low as P499 one-way base fare, made possible by a CEB special seat sale which runs from Jan. 27 to 31, 2023,” the airline said.

    The travel period is from June 1 to Aug. 31 this year.

    “Upon check-in, travelers must present a negative result from an antigen test taken within 24 hours or a negative 48-hour RT-PCR result, and a proof of vaccination of primary doses for non-Hong Kong residents aged 12 or above,” Cebu Pacific said.

    It noted that the test results may also be submitted online through Hong Kong’s health and quarantine information declaration website (https://www.chp.gov.hk/hdf/). Travelers are reminded to keep photos of their test results for 90 days.

    Arriving travelers are also encouraged to take a self-arranged antigen test daily until the fifth day from their arrival.

    Cebu Pacific said that the results of the antigen tests may be reported through the Hong Kong government’s electronic monitoring and surveillance system

  • Cebu Pacific looking to restore Clark flights

    Cebu Pacific looking to restore Clark flights

    Cebu Pacific is working to restore more of its flights in other air hubs in the Philippines, such as Clark International Airport, the budget carrier’s president told reporters last week.

    “We will be happy to resume flights at Clark and the other destinations we used to fly in,” Xander Lao, president and chief commercial officer, said. “Actually, when we said we were back at 100 percent operations, it referred to the seats and not actually to our fleet. From a pacing perspective, we are not there yet. For now, it is a matter of connecting the points and going from there.”

    He continued that on whether there is a possibility of moving some of their flights from the Ninoy Aquino International Airport to Clark International Airport, he said they are open to that idea.

    “Honestly, we welcome any capacity growth that comes from the market, but I think it should come down to the airlines on where they would want to designate flights to,” the Cebu Pacific president remarked. “We think Clark on its own has a lot of potential as it has around 20 million people in its catchment area, but Clark from Manila is very far as it is around 100 kilometers apart. It will be hard to convince businessmen or some passengers to travel that far to an airport.”

    Lao said that it is very good that the government is trying to improve the airport infrastructure in the Philippines, and said that they are excited about its various developments.

    Vietnam Airlines reports $430M loss on fuel price

    Vietnam Airlines reported a loss of VND10.09 trillion ($430.3 million) last year and blamed it on rises in fuel prices and exchange rate volatility.

    Its revenues were worth around VND71 trillion, equivalent to 70% of revenues in 2019 before the Covid-19 pandemic hit but higher than the combined figures of 2020 and 2021.

    As of last year the carrier had accumulated losses of VND34.2 trillion.

    Yet it remains optimistic about 2023 since global markets have been recovering since late 2022 and said it would take measures to address the losses issues.
