Mumbai and New Delhi were started as part of a wave of Indian expansion at the AirAsia group. But with a line drawn in the sand that AirAsia X would operate services over four hours in duration.

The Mumbai and New Delhi sectors, being over four hours long, were given to AirAsia X when, perhaps, less capacity in the form of an A320 (which IndiGo uses between Mumbai and New Delhi to Singapore) would have been more suitable.

The Malaysian government did not help the routes with its ending of visa on arrival procedures, but this could possibly have been sorted out through diplomatic channels.

Europe, India and New Zealand were failures – but lessons have been learned

It is worthwhile to continue considering AirAsia X's withdrawn services to Europe, India and New Zealand. European services were brand extensions for part-owner AirAsia; profitability was not the target.

Mr Osman-Rani spoke of the European services as being independent of his profit-oriented A330 strategy.

Cost breakdowns help begin to explain north Asia's profitability swings. North Asia's ground expenses per ASK were 48% higher in 2011 than in Australia.

Ground expenses comprised 4.3% of total expenses in Australia but 6.0% in north Asia, reflecting generally higher input costs in the region. Fuel cost for north Asian sectors was 5.5% higher per available ASK.

Of other cut routes, India's sagging performance was going to be negatively impacted by then-impending airport charge increases.

New Zealand's cost-revenue imbalance was not going to be reversed owing to weakened demand to Christchurch (AirAsia X's only port in New Zealand) following the 2011 earthquake there.

Approximate fuel expense per ASK was about the same as to Australia.

Airasia X - Europe had a clear imbalance between costs and revenue, leading to it being cut. The A340's inefficiency is clearly felt on the balance sheet.

Approximate fuel expense per ASK in 2011 was 39% higher to Europe than Australia and 32% higher to Europe than north Asia. Per ASK maintenance expenses to Europe were 18% higher than to Australia.

Australian yields are the highest while European costs become unsustainable.

While AirAsia X has not disclosed yields and unit operating expenses on a regional basis, it is possible to approximately calculate the figures when using historical data from OAG (a CASK calculation per region is not possible as AirAsia X's CASK includes adjustments not quantified).

Costs per region have moved consistently with each other, impacted by fuel price. The exception is the Middle East, which saw costs plummet as AirAsia X dropped scheduled flights to Abu Dhabi and commenced lower overhead charter flights to Tehran. Australian yields showed high growth from 2010 to 2011 while Middle East yields declined as operating costs did so as well.

There is little discussion from AirAsia X on north Asia's varying performance. Its 2010 profit before tax occurred despite the launch of new routes to Seoul and Tokyo Haneda, which typically incur significant start-up costs.

In comparison, 2011 only saw the launch of one new north Asian route (Osaka Kansai). This offers some cause for concern since north Asia is the carrier's single largest region based on ASKs and will grow even further as capacity into the region will likely outpace Australia. North Asia revenue in 2011 was slightly higher than in Australia.

The region undoubtedly sees mixed performance, with Tokyo Haneda performing well but Tianjin struggling.

AirAsia X has increased Kuala Lumpur-Haneda services and has spoken of adding a service to Tokyo Narita to connect with short-haul AirAsia Japan's base at Narita but leaving the Haneda link intact owing to success.

Tianjin was used as an alternative airport to Beijing Capital, which Malaysian regulators initially did not permit AirAsia X to serve out of fears of competing with state-owned carrier Malaysia Airlines.

AirAsia X in 2012 switched its Tianjin service to Beijing Capital to have a more direct service to the city.

AirAsia X maintains its link to Hangzhou, sometimes referred to as an alternative to Shanghai but has its own traffic owing to its status as a tourism hub, unlike Tianjin where the city is primarily an alternative to Beijing. AirAsia X may consider serving Shanghai but leaving Hangzhou intact.

While AirAsia X could claim that Australia is a high-demand market, both inbound and outbound, north Asia sees bloated legacy carriers where AirAsia X's cost advantage should be felt more. Plus the region, on paper, is home to a growing middle class.

Jetstar prefers to serve high-volume point-to-point routes – which works very well from its base in Australia where a large market with relatively little long-haul leisure competition gives its routes for the picking, from Bangkok to Honolulu to Tokyo.

AirAsia X, however, is relying on the growing network of short-haul AirAsia units to feed its network. (Scoot will now do the same via a partnership with Tiger Airways). These connecting services, however, must confront greater competition.

That may explain why Australia has been so consistent for AirAsia X whereas north Asia has been a mixed story.

Profits and losses show how AirAsia X is diverging from Jetstar.

The low-cost long-haul concept is nascent with only a handful of active practitioners: Jetstar and Scoot complementing AirAsia X. Despite the small handful of carriers engaging in this market, there are strategic divergences.

Jetstar is less bullish on long-haul ambitions. Its growth profile currently comprises 15 787-8s, which will be used to replace 11 A330-200s, leaving four aircraft for growth whereas AirAsia X and Scoot are planning growth of approximately 20 aircraft by mid/late this decade.

AirAsia customer unable to get refund after accidental double payment:
AsiaOne | Wed, Dec 5 2012

An AirAsia customer is seeking refund from the budget airline after making double payment for air tickets.

The man, named Harry who wrote to Stomp, claims to have accidentally made the payment twice in the online transaction.

The report said that he is unable to get a refund despite his many attempts to contact them.

"Getting a refund for a double payment with AirAsia is easier said than done," said Harry.

"With no call centre and an automated email system, there is no way to speak to a person other than to visit Changi Airport.

The bottom line view, however, obscures critical nuances.

AirAsia X's negative performance has been dragged down by services to Europe, India and New Zealand – all of which were cut in early 2012.

The Australian market has delivered handsome pre-tax profits while north Asia has had swings. These are the carrier's two core regions; the Middle East, served via charters, had profits in 2010 and 2011 (the latter almost insignificant).

Results from the first half of 2012 continue the trend with Australia and the Middle East growing while north Asia was almost at break-even.

Losses in Europe and New Zealand for 1H2012 almost matched 1H2011's figures despite being served for only a fraction of the first six months, indicating that without cancelling the services, losses would have been higher in 1H2012.

The first half of 2012 is performing better than in past years but so far is still in the red.

AirAsia X's peak period is from November to January, and 2H2012 should be significantly boosted by the carrier's withdrawal in mid-1H2012 from loss-making routes.

Aside from a weak 1H2011, the carrier's margins have been respectable, and certainly ahead of some peers in what has been a relative downturn for the industry for most of AirAsia X's existence.

At a bottom line level, AirAsia X's profits have been rare.

The carrier commenced services in Nov-2007 but financial information released as part of the prospectus only dates back to 2009.

The years 2007 and 2008 were inevitably loss-making years, as fuel prices spiked and the world slipped into economic turmoil.

AirAsia X's sole profit in the disclosed period was in 2010 when it squeaked out a mere MYR7.2 millon (USD2.3 million) operating profit at a margin of 0.5%.

Its pre-tax profit was significantly higher owing to favourable gains from foreign exchange.

Then again, a more complete explanation touching on the perceived strategic value and influence from AirAsia would perhaps limit Airasia X apparent independence.

The result is a perception of an airline which is less than sure of itself when, in fact, it has had a strong grasp of its core business.

Airasia X is young and has rightfully evolved and experimented considerably, all of which has impacted figures – yet there is little explanation of why the carrier's current position on network is sensible and the way forward to profits.

Explanations for past mistakes and hindrances – services to Europe, for example – are brief, blaming fuel and tax/fee increases, although the routes were barely profitable before those factors came into play.

Folks, any news on the new order! Tq.


AirAsia CEO Sees New Airbus Order in Coming Weeks - By David Pearson
Published November 05, 2012 - Dow Jones Newswires

AirAsia (5099.KU) Chief Executive Tony Fernandes said Monday (5/11/12)his airline is close to signing off on a new order for 100 Airbus A320 jets, as Asia's fastest growing airline struggles to add capacity to meet demand.

"We're getting close to ordering another 100 aircraft," Fernandes told Dow Jones Newswires on the sidelines of an event to announce a joint venture between Fernandes' Caterham sports car company in the U.K. and French auto maker Renault SA (RNO.FR).

"Hopefully we'll be able to conclude that in the next three to four weeks," he added.

Fernandes said AirAsia, which operates an all-Airbus fleet, will include A320neos, re-engined versions of the single-aisle A320, in the new order. AirAsia already has 375 Airbus A320 jets on order and has taken delivery of 105 of the aircraft.

1. When it comes to financing a purchase of stocks there are two ways:
purchasing stock with money that is currently in the buyer's ownership, or by buying stock on margin.

2. Buying stock on margin means buying stock with money borrowed against the value of stocks in the same account. These stocks, or collateral, guarantee that the buyer can repay the loan; otherwise, the stockbroker has the right to sell the stock (collateral) to repay the borrowed money.

3. He can sell if the share price drops below the margin requirement, at least 50% of the value of the stocks in the account. Buying on margin works the same way as borrowing money to buy a car or a house, using a car or house as collateral. Moreover, borrowing is not free; the broker usually charges 8–10% interest.

Advantages & Disadvantages of Buying Back Your Own Stock

Companies frequently buy back shares of their own stock, often when they believe that the shares are undervalued.

Done right, a stock buyback can boost the value of a company's shares and protect it against a hostile takeover.

Done wrong, a buyback can be a waste of money--and may even send a "sell" signal to the investors you hope will want to buy.

What Happens When a Company's Share Price Drops Sharply?

Companies exist to make money for their owners. The owners of a publicly traded company are its shareholders. So, when a company's share price drops sharply, the shareholders lose value.

The CEO, with a sinking feeling in the pit of his stomach, might feel more like the pilot of the Hindenburg than a member of the business elite. But, all is not lost just because the share price drops, and some good can come of it.

Any dramatic move in price indicates real changes in the stock market that warrant attention tempered with caution.

Why Do Stock Prices Drop?

5. Supply and Demand
The basic rules of supply and demand apply to stock prices. When investors begin a major sell off of their shares of a company's stock, it increases the amount of available stock in the markets.

When the supply of the available stock for sale is higher than investor demand to purchase the stock, it leads to a decrease in stock price.

The stock price will stay low until it reaches a low enough price to induce investors to purchase the excess supply.

4. Explicit Value
The explicit value of a stock is the exact opposite of implicit value. The explicit value is the actual financial worth of the company by measuring assets against liabilities.

If a company has more liabilities than assets, it is a sign of poor financial management or financial mismanagement on the company's part.

When a company's liabilities outweigh its assets the explicit value of the company drops. This causes the value of the stock and its price per share to fall.

Why Do Stock Prices Drop?

3. Implicit Value

The implicit value of a stock can cause it to drop dramatically because it is intangible. Basically, it is the perceived value of the stock by investors.

If investors perceive a company is in financial trouble, whether they are or not, it decreases the implicit value of the stock.

When this occurs, investors begin selling off their stock as a result of the perceived loss of value, causing the stock price per share to decline.

Why Do Stock Prices Drop?

2. Negative Corporate News
Negative corporate news ranges from product recalls to violations in accounting practices. Stock prices plunge when major negative corporate news breaks, like a corporate scandal.

For example in 2000, Enron's stock was trading at $90 a share. When the Enron scandal broke one year later, its stocks fell to under $1 per share.

The same thing happens when companies announce they are recalling a product due to operating failures or pulling a product from the market shelves due to possible dangers posed from the product.

Why Do Stock Prices Drop?

1. Earnings Reports
Public companies release earnings reports four times a year (quarterly). These reports contain income and profit and loss statements and are a testament to the company's fiscal health.

When earnings reports show that profit margins are declining and/or corporate debt is on the rise, it is indicative of a decline in net income.

When investors see a significant drop in income, it often induces them to sell off their shares. When this happens, it causes a drop in stock price.

Why Do Stock Prices Drop?

Stock prices drop for a number of different reasons. Generally there isn't a single reason the share price drops, but a combination of different ones. Most of the time, stock price drops occur due to newly released earnings reports, negative company news, implicit value, explicit value and supply and demand.

Folks, why does a company want their stock price to go up?

To keep their shareholders happy.

The people that run the company are often shareholders. They have a vested interest in the company. When stock prices continue to increase, the shareholders would also be willing to increase compensation to the directors and upper management of these companies.

There is also the fact of financing. For example, companies may issue more shares to finance new investment in the company's business. Doing this though is dilutive to the value of the shares and if the perceived value in the company is low, raising money becomes difficult.

Having a higher value in the company would give new investors confidence in investing any new money into it. Borrowing can also be cheaper. If the company is able to show increased market value in itself, then borrowing will be cheaper.

The Bottom Line
For these reasons, a company's stock price is a matter of concern. If performance of their stock is ignored, the life of the company and its management may be threatened with adverse consequences, such as the unhappiness of individual investors and future difficulties in raising capital.

Why does a company, or more specifically its owner, care about it stock price performance?

5. Ego
Finally, a company may aim to increase share simply to increase their prestige and exposure to the public. Managers are human too, and like anybody they are always thinking ahead to their next job.

The larger the market capitalization of a company, the more analyst coverage the company will receive. Essentially, analyst coverage is a form of free publicity advertising and allows both senior managers and the company itself to introduce themselves to a wider audience.

4. The Hunters and the Hunted
Unlike private companies, publicly traded companies stand vulnerable to takeover by another company if they allow their share price to decline substantially. Publicly-traded companies, on the other hand, have shares distributed over a large base of owners who can easily sell at any time.

To accumulate shares for the purpose of takeover, potential bidders are better able to make offers to shareholders when they are trading at lower prices.

For this reason, companies would want their stock price to remain relatively stable, so that they remain strong and deter interested corporations from taking them.

3. Financing
Another main role of the stock market is to act as a barometer for financial health. Analysts are constantly scrutinizing companies and this information affects the companies' traded securities. Because of this, creditors tend to look favorably upon companies whose shares are performing strongly.

This preferential treatment is in part due to the tie between a company's earnings and its share price. Over the long term, strong earnings are a good indication that the company will be able to meet debt requirements.

As a result, the company will receive cheaper financing through a lower interest rate, which in turn increases the amount of value returned from a capital project.

Alternatively, favorable market performance is useful for a company seeking additional equity financing. If there is demand, a company can always sell more shares to the public to raise money.

Essentially this is like printing money, and it isn't bad for the company as long as it doesn't dilute its existing share base too much, in which case issuing more shares can have horrible consequences for existing shareholders.

2. Wrath of the Shareholders
Too often investors forget that stock means ownership. The job of management is to produce gains for the shareholders. Although a manager has little or no control of share price in the short run, poor stock performance could, over the long run, be attributed to mismanagement of the company.

If the stock price consistently underperforms the shareholders' expectations, the shareholders are going to be unhappy with the management and look for changes (e.g dumping the share).

Why does a company, or more specifically its owner, care about it stock price performance?

1. Those in Management are Often Shareholders Too
The first and most obvious reason why those in management care about the stock market is that they typically have a monetary interest in the company.
