Hope the Syd flights are not affected. Have a (cheapish) family trip, Syd-Kul rtn in July next year booked!Air Asia have announced an increased loss for Q3 and have reportedly said they will significantly reduce Australian flights.
Australian flights resulted in a AUD10M loss for the quarter.
Has any airline actually been able to make LCC long haul work an make money, I am struggling to think of one. The economics seem to work on short haul but not on anything over about 4 hours. The problem I reckon is the ancillary services and up selling probably doesn't increase in line with the length of flight on a linear scale.
EDIT: I guess we should add, on the premise that nothing really adverse is coming out plus a promising order book in hand, Scoot is looking rather successful.
I am not sure Scoots 65M loss is a positive.

Great...our day flight from Kul to Syd is no more...looks like we will be shifted to an overnight flight!!! Yet to formally receive any notification from Air Asia:evil:Looks like they've reduced their KUL-SYD schedule back down to a daily service for next year already.
Yuk. Hopefully, you're not in Y. Narrow seats, minimal recline. Not conducive for a good night's sleep.Great...our day flight from Kul to Syd is no more...looks like we will be shifted to an overnight flight!!! Yet to formally receive any notification from Air Asia:evil:
What do you think??:evil::evil: We are a party of 5....I paid $515 x5 for Syd-Kul-Syd in Y (so not too painful for bank account), which was JUST doable on day time flights both ways...now coming back will be an overnighter........:evil::evil::evil:Yuk.

:evil::evil: Punters who book LCC (for whatever reason) but and then whinge when things go pear shape about the resulting service / access etc. :evil::evil:
So are you suggesting only those who book QF J have the right to whinge when they get booted / shafted down into Y whereas the battlers who can never afford prem cabins have no right whatsoever? Yeah I can see the equity there.:evil::evil: Punters who book LCC (for whatever reason) but and then whinge when things go pear shape about the resulting service / access etc. :evil::evil:
