Exactly, they fly with Tony to Boracay:

MANILA - AirAsia Philippines on Friday said it has opened flights to Macau, Kunming and Chengdu in China from Kalibo International Airport to expand its international network.

The Kalibo - Macau route will commence on March 2, Kalibo - Kunming on Jan. 25, while the Kalibo - Chengdu flights will operate starting Jan. 24, the low-cost carrier said in a statement.

Opening the additional routes will boost tourism in the "paradise island," AirAsia CEo Dexter Comendador said.

“China is an important market for leisure and tourism and we are excited to bring them back to Boracay. Direct flights will provide ease and comfort for Chinese tourists while giving local tourism industry a necessary boost after the rehabilitation works that closed the island to all tourists for six months last year,” Comendador said.

Introductory price of P990 is available until Jan. 20, the airline said.

AirAsia has earlier announced it will operate Kalibo – Hangzhou starting Jan. 18.

The long-haul, low-cost carrier plans to add three more Airbus A330s to its core Malaysia operation by the end of 2018, giving it a fleet of 25. Its Thai franchise will increase its A330 fleet from six to nine, and another may be subleased from the Malaysian unit. The Indonesian franchise will stay unchanged at two aircraft. The group plans to launch up to five new routes “in the coming months.”

AirAsia Group CEO and AirAsia X Group co-CEO Tony Fernandes, via his official Twitter account, commented on AirAsia X's 1Q2018 financial performance, stating: "Great financial results for AirAsia X in 1Q18. Will continue with our strategy to focus on building frequency and leverage on our strong branding in core countries. Profits for Thai AirAsia X also strongest we've seen so far and they're set to go bigger".

Yes and their reports are full with mistakes, seems CIMB "loves" Tony.

Azmin said, due to the recent revelation, his ministry would review all mega projects approved by the previous government and these would include the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) and KL-Singapore High Speed Railway (HSR).

Good or bad for AirAsia when this megaprojects are canx???
Of course good! Many flights every day bewtween KL and SG!

Lol i think anybody knows that within an seasonable business you can not compare QOQ. In all financial reports you always compare Q1 18 against Q1 17.
And im sure you know that!

You guys are completly crazy!

By NST Business - May 22, 2018 @ 6:29pm

KUALA LUMPUR: AirAsia X Bhd’s net profit grew three-fold to RM41.49 million in the first quarter (Q1) ended March 31, 2018 from RM10.34 million.

Revenue increased 7.2 per cent to RM1.27 billion from RM1.18 billion.

In a filing to Bursa Malaysia, AirAsia X said the increase in net profit and revenue were supported by a 13 per cent growth in passenger volume recorded during the quarter.

Yes we know you want MAS kiling AirAsia *rofl*
Poor guy..go to next wave

. Some of those airlines who couldn't make money when oil was at $40 a barrel last year

Good for Airasia when airlines like mas and malindo have cut services!!

As well, the Malaysian operation has increased frequencies on 13 routes while Indonesia added three (two from Medan and one from Padang) and the Philippines four (all originating from Clark) new routes.

Load factors have also been high at three other affiliates: 91% at Thai AirAsia (TAA), 83% at India AirAsia (AAI) and 79% at Japan AirAsia (AAJ).

Kuala Lumpur-based MIDF Research has maintained its buy recommendation on AirAsia with a target price of 4.80 ringgit a share. It was trading around 3.50 ringgit last week.

AirAsia's operations in the Philippines, Indonesia and India are now "cash flow positive" and that has helped "tremendously", Mr Fernandes said.

The carrier's first-quarter financial results and passenger yield data are scheduled to be released this week. Malaysian research houses expect favourable earnings in the three months to March 31 given better operational statistics. The fleet size grew by 17 aircraft during the period to 123, comprising 87 in Malaysia (AirAsia Berhad), 15 in Indonesia (PT AirAsia Indonesia) and 21 in the Philippines (Philippines AirAsia).

This has increased the group's available seat kilometre (ASK) figure by 17.6% year-on-year, according to PublicInvest Research of Malaysian Public Investment Bank. Revenue per ASK is the key financial performance metric in the airline industry.

"Look, we grew when the oil price was at US$130 (a barrel), right? I have consistently been an oil bear and there is plenty of oil supply right now. There is the sharing economy, there is more renewable energy, and there is plenty of supply," Mr Fernandes told reporters at a recent briefing in Bangkok.

"There is so much supply that Opec (Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries) has had to cut down production, so we will live through this as we have done during the oil price hike. It is not over $100 right now which it was before, and we still made money."

Brent crude, the international benchmark for oil prices, last week reached its highest closing level since November 2014 at $78.23 barrel.

by the way, so many people are boycotting the airline that the server is just totally overburdened as part of the current promotion. So many people wanna booking AirAsia flights!

We were quite nimble on that, so it wasn't a massive impact for us".

07-May-2018
Philippines AirAsia CEO Dexter Comendador said: "We're looking forward to opening Clark as the low cost carrier hub in the Philippines for AirAsia... And then we are opening up [in] Panglao, Bohol when it opens... And Puerto Princesa and Davao" (Business World Online, 04-May-2018). Mr Comendador noted capacity constraints in Manila and added the company's growth to 70 aircraft in the next 10 years will be distributed "countryside... It will spur development then"

Or Vietnam
