Nadda Buranasiri, CEO of AirAsia X Group and Thai AirAsia X, said Thai AirAsia X is ready to build an ever-expanding network of destinations in China as it is a high potential market, inviting travelers to experience the country in a new perspective.

The additional route is also to draw Chinese travelers to Thailand with Bangkok to Shenyang becoming the airline’s third route to China after Shanghai and Tianjin.

Thai AirAsia X flights to China have a Load Factor average of 90 percent and have steadily grown due to the airline’s continual additions and AirAsia’s extensive network throughout the country.

BANGKOK, April 1 — Thai AirAsia will be flying from Phuket to Phnom Penh, Cambodia, from June 1, marking the airline’s ninth international route out of the island.

Chief executive officer, Santisuk Klongchaiya said the four-times weekly direct flight was part of the airline’s establishment of a network across Asia and the steadily growing Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam (CLMV) market—a major source of tourism for Thailand.

He said Thai AirAsia plans to build a strong network of destinations, providing ever greater convenience for travellers, who no longer need to stopover in Bangkok.

“Phuket is a very important strategic flight base for AirAsia that has grown steadily along with the addition of direct flights to CLMV cities such as Siem Reap.

KUALA LUMPUR, April 1 — AirAsia is offering promotional all-in-fares from RM99 to Quanzhou in Fujian, China, in conjunction with the launch of the new daily direct route from Kuala Lumpur commencing on May 1, 2019.

AirAsia Malaysia chief executive officer Riad Asmat said the Kuala Lumpur-Quanzhou service further grows its footprint of unique destinations in China and provides greater accessibility to Malaysian and Chinese travellers.

“AirAsia has been championing connectivity to China’s secondary cities such as Guilin, Shantou and Nanning. As we continue to expand in China, we look forward to exploring opportunities to connect our other secondary hubs in Malaysia to China as well,” he said.

LONG-haul budget carrier Thai AirAsia X has targeted revenue of around Bt15 billion this year, up from around Bt9.5 billion last year, chief executive officer Nadda Buranasiri said yesterday.

It expects to carry 3 million passengers this year, up from around 2 million last year.

The carrier will boost the number of its aircraft to 14 this year, up from 9 last year.

Thai AirAsia X has affirmed its extensive coverage of Japan by adding a four-times a week direct service from Bangkok’s Don Mueang airport to Fukuoka, the gateway of Kyushu.

Ron90 to that extent, loss QR still declared dividend.

How often you have to read that??
You have to look at the whole year not just a quarter!

He is at first a good businessman and from that point of view its not good to give away the money to guys like some here in the community ;-)

Lol no im holding the stock since 2013.....you too so long?
And no, TF is just taking his part from what he build! And thats ok!

Guys, why always talking about special dividend????
Better to invest into the company and the future of the company!

http://www.asiatraveltips.com/news19/113-AirAsiaX.shtml

really a lot of experts here...forgetting ex dividend date....

No only Airbus

From KUL they are flying both, Beijing and Tianjin.
And you know, when you open 5 new routes its completly normal that not all 5 are hits....otherwise the game would be too easy ;-).
And Tehran is a special case. If they dont close the route then they could not fly into Hawaii....

And another new route:
Bangkok-Tianjin

So here we all can read what our friend write one year ago

https://klse.i3investor.com/servlets/cube/post/graynoize.jsp?fp=1

He was just waiting for big fat dividend and now he is angry that it was not fat enough :-)

graynoize8 HLX4U. Guess you clearly don't understand how an airline work. Not gonna argue more since it's a waste of time.
Vietjet is not new to the game, it's more adding capacity mind you.

Hmmmmm...so "Tony is new in the game" but "vietjet is not new to the game"?????


:-P

graynoize8 I told you again, I'm a long term investor, not trader.

Then tell us your old acount so that we can check your wisely investments of the past

graynoize8 Read more, brag less. Invest wisely, speculate less. Stay safe.

bla..bla bla....

"An airline doesn't have to be based in Malaysia to fly here or fly out from here"

yes but then for example Vietjet can only fly vietnam to malaysia.
Not domestic where Tony makes a lot of money.

So calm down a bit.
AA have a very strong brand and position cause...now i use YOUR words:
"But he's late to the game"

Your example vietjet is verrrry late to the game!

Graynoize8
you are such a specialist and insider that you dont sold the stock a year ago at around 4.80? :-P

Another thing is, Tony said he kept adding capacity. But with so many competitors adding capacity as well, price war will soon erupt.

Malindo? Mas? :-)

So i understand you right, Tony can close AirAsia right? ;-)

You can see it from the other side too. Vietjet so far is alone in the LCC-segment in Vietnam. Soon Tony will start in Vietnam too.
Do you think Vietjet Malaysia will come? ;-)

Malindo is going out of Kuala Lumpur to Colombo route. Good for AirAsia!

This will be huge for AirAsia in the Bangkok-Market!

“There will be shareholders likely to give up their shares in Nok Air. It is possible that with the purchase, AirAsia will be able to get more slots out from Nok Air,” he said.

@supersaiyan3
ThaiAirAsia will report at the 26th!
Maybe you wanna visit their investor relations calender? ;-)

@all
Dont expect so much more "special dividend'!
They sold the jets and now they have to pay leasingrates!

Thai AirAsia ill present their results on the 26th of february.
They are always the first!

ChefSaham From my analysis in terms of oil price impact: 

Just for information for your "analysis":
The price for jet fuel is not the same like the oil price! Its higher than the oil price!
Jets are not flying with oil they are flying with kerosin. So you need a process on top....
