AirAsia PH hit with ‘final demand’ notice as dues near P1B, key operations at risk

AirAsia Philippines, one of the country’s biggest airlines, could face significant operational disruptions as nearly P1 billion in unpaid government dues threatens its licenses and airport access, the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines warned on Monday.

AirAsia should just stick to its Malaysian, Thai and Indonesian airlines.

They have failed as much did Jetstar, Tiger/Scoot in trying to branch out.

Ordering stupid amounts of aircraft to any defer or cancel them, the whole model which was a pan Asian network carrier with hubs everywhere, well the reality is it doesn’t work.

Where exactly to they intend to place 350 A321Neo’s? Then we have LionAir with 250 MAXs on order who stopped taking them during the MAX accidents and was trying to get out of the contract. Vietjet has another 400 on order. What are all these entrepreneurs smoking?

For AirAsia possibly one of those situations where if all the balls stopped moving then all of a sudden it becomes obvious how indebted the company is. Don't look there look here at this shiny announcement.

The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) has ordered AirAsia Philippines to halt operations at all government-managed airports over P270 million in unpaid fees.

In a June 2 cease-and-desist order, CAAP director general Raul del Rosario directed AirAsia to stop operating within its jurisdiction within three days of receiving the notice.

Del Rosario cited the low-cost carrier’s “continued failure to pay outstanding obligations despite repeated collection efforts.”

CAAP records show AirAsia owes P271.94 million in air navigation, landing, parking, and passenger service charges accumulated from 2021 through May 2026. The figure excludes pending penalties and interest.
The order bars AirAsia from airport facilities unless authorized in writing by CAAP.

$6M since 2021, not great

Now grounded Philippines grounds AirAsia operations over P270M in unpaid airport fees

It’s not a big figure so I think it really exposes the cash issue the AirAsia group has. Its Indonesian arm is another I’d be watching closely, they have cut nearly half the schedule.

Agree, 6M over six years….

Well they put out a statement, doesn’t refer to the owed charges but denies it’s being grounded (well true I guess…..as the reports have been a few days notice before any grounding, not grounded immediately which some press seemed to have inaccurately reported)

Gives them a window to pay back the charges I guess, nothing to see here comes to mind. Well….yet.

Statement about Philippines AirAsia — AirAsia Newsroom

AirAsia X (AirAsia Group*) categorically denies recent media reports claiming that the operations of its airline, Philippines AirAsia (flight code: Z2), are being grounded. These reports are entirely false and do not reflect the reality of the business or operations of the airline.

Supposedly paid.

Bit rich calling it a smear campaign etc when originally they owed tens of millions which goes back years, threatened with grounding then pay up at the final moment.

Needless to say I don’t think they will get any grace period with payments from that country anymore.
