Those Aussies are TOO smart. Got to give credit where credit is due.

Post removed.Why?

Post removed.Why?

At least we know why they're REALLY starting Malindo Airlines now.

The blacklisting means that there are bans in place on international flights to both the United States and European Union. Some media report that Lion Air's alliance with SkyAirWorld is only a move to bypass the bans.


******Alliance to BYPASS the BAN in the EU & US*********


WHOARRRRRR!!!! Crazy!


Watch Out Guys!

You're absolutely on-point. Cheap flights, NOT cheap lives!

I guess we as Malaysians take it for granted that when we step into AirAsia, we can expect world class safety standards!

Technically sound. Good maintenance. Great Management.

And Skytraxx 4 years in a row!

Wow! Awesome!

Actions speak louder than words my friends!

Especially these actions:


1. Tergelincir 2. Lion Air. 3.Youtube


May those passengers that died, not have died in vain!

'Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me'

Cracks me UP! WHOAR! Ahahaahhahahhahah!

Cancelling flights is one thing. How about canceling a WHOLE AIRLINE? Hahahahhaha

How about that! WHOAR!

Can someone help me. I'm a dumbdumb...humour me...pls.


1. Large orders of BOTH Airbus and Boeing?

Why different aircraft, that adds complexity AND costs? Aren't we a LCC?


2. With the furthest destination Is KK and Kuching the future/answer, in taking over LCC skies answer? Really?

Its 72 destinations are mostly in Indonesia, and the furthest it flies is to Saudi Arabia -- a route mostly packed with domestic workers and construction labourers.

"I think Lion Air wants to show that it can beat Tony Fernandes," said Dudi Sudibyo, an expert from aviation magazine Angkasa.


3. "But the questions now are -- who will fly those planes, where will the planes be parked, and how do they finance this?" - Same in my mind.


4. Banned in the EU and the US? Am I missing something?

Safety
In 2007 Lion was among a number of Indonesian airlines banned by the EU for lax safety standards.

Flag carrier Garuda Indonesia and several other firms were taken off the blacklist in July 2009..... ***but Lion Air is still on it****.

Under present Federal Aviation Administration rules it would not normally be allowed to begin services to the US as the FAA classifies Indonesia as not meeting minimum air safety oversight requirements.


5. How are you planning on maintaining 600 aircraft, if you can't handle 92?

With at least 5 serious accident between 2002 - 2011.

With both mega-purchases in place, Lion Air would boast more than 600 aircraft by 2025, making it among the top ten of the world's biggest airlines in terms of fleet size.

-If you can't handle/maintain 92 aircraft, and have been around longer than AirAsia,

How about that my friends??? WHOAR!

Boycott an airline thats...

1. Banned in EU

2. Banned in US

How? If they're not even allowed to fly there? Hahahahaha

Or rather....

All talk and CRASH action since '99.

Hmmm?

All talk and no action...since 1999.

That should be Lion Airs' motto.

Lion Air Australia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Founded 2008
Fleet size 9 planned
Parent company Lion Air (49%)
SkyAirWorld (51%)

Lion Air Australia was a planned Australian domestic and international airline. After the collapse of its main proposed shareholder SkyAirWorld, the future of the Lion Air Australia is uncertain. There has been no new information about the proposed airline or its status since 2008.Contents [show]

Ownership and plans

Ownership of the airline was to be split 51% - 49% between Brisbane-based SkyAirWorld and Jakarta-based Lion Mentari Airlines. As a result of the partnership Lion Air Australia will have the same air traffic rights to operate as any other Australian-owned airline. SkyAirWorld was to assist with application for regulatory approvals in Australia. Even though it was to be majority owned by SkyAirWorld, Lion Air president Rusdi Kirana was reported as saying that his company would be the operator and control the business.[1]

Initially it will operate with a fleet of six Boeing 737-900ERs, flying domestic routes as well as to Indonesia and other Southeast Asian destinations. The airline anticipated its maiden flight by the end of 2008, but as of June 2010 operations had not commenced. If Lion Air Australia starts operating it would be the fourth low-cost domestic airline in the Australian market.[2] It will differ somewhat from other Australian budget airlines; offering business, premium economy and economy seats.

In a statement on 10 January 2008 announcing the creation of the Lion Air Australia joint venture, both partners noted that routes, fares and frequencies were still being developed.

Now however, it appears unlikely that the plan will go ahead after the collapse of SkyairWorld in 2010 and there are still no current announcements of any new business partners to take SkyairWorld's place. [3]

Safety

Some Australian newspaper reports have been critical of Lion Air's safety record and speculated that Lion Air Australia could have a challenge in overcoming Australian consumers' concerns at the poor safety reputation of Indonesian carriers.[2] Lion Air, along with all but four of Indonesia's airlines, is still on the European Union airline blacklist, having lost two aircraft in five years.[2] The blacklisting means that there are bans in place on international flights to both the United States and European Union. Some media report that Lion Air's alliance with SkyAirWorld is only a move to bypass the bans.

Awesome!

AirAsia Voted Skytrax World’s Best Low Cost Airline Four Years Running!

19 million travelers polled worldwide and voted AirAsia as the World’s Best Low Cost Airline

LONDON, 13 July – July indeed is a month of celebration for AirAsia, where the airline receives not one, but two international accolades further confirming that AirAsia is the world’s best in the global airline industry, as reported in Aviation Week’s Top-Performing Airlines 2012 one week ago.

Once again, the world’s air travelers have given their verdict and AirAsia is world’s best low-cost airline for the fourth consecutive year, as voted by 19 million air travelers worldwide!

The Skytrax World Airline Survey is an annual global survey conducted by respected London-based aviation consultants Skytrax, almost 19 million travelers polled worldwide chose AirAsia as the World’s Best Low Cost Airline for the fourth consecutive year. AirAsia came out tops in the independent survey that measures airlines’ product and service standards once again.


AirAsia’s Group Chief Executive Officer, Tan Sri Tony Fernandes was present to receive this prestigious award held at Farnborough International Airshow in London, United Kingdom on 12th July 2012. AirAsia was also named Best Low Cost Airline – Asia, for the fourth consecutive year as well in the same award ceremony.

Tan Sri Tony Fernandes said, “This comes as another great news to us, we were overwhelmed when we found out that we came out tops in Aviation Week’s Top Performing Airlines Report, beating other longer-established airlines and even Europe’s largest low-cost carrier! We emerged tops in a report that measures airlines’ financial and operational performances, and we are once again voted the World’s Best Low-Cost Airline by our valued guests around the world in this Skytrax World Airline Survey!”

“We would like to thank all our guests for their support and their belief in us to provide opportunities for everyone to fly. We will continue to uphold our promise in giving all of you the best service with everyday low fares, and we are proud to be your People’s Champion for the fourth consecutive year,” added Tan Sri Tony Fernandes.

AirAsia is a household name which has flown over 150 million guests since it was established ten years ago with a mission to democratize air travel in the region and has been operationally profitable from day one of its launch as a low-cost carrier. The airline also has affiliates in Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines and Japan, apart from Malaysia servicing 80 destinations across 20 countries.

All six of AirAsia’s airlines – Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines Japan and AirAsia X operate one of the youngest fleet of Airbus A320 and A330 in the world, with an average age of only 3 years groupwide. Apart from a modern fleet, AirAsia’s consumer-friendly products and services complemented with everyday low fares, extensive route network and great flight frequencies, convenient booking and payment channels and value added add-ons such as meals, seat allocations and baggage allowances make this fourth time World’s Best Low-Cost Airline award a motivation for AirAsia to keep this title in the years to come.

Tan Sri Tony Fernandes commented further, “I might sound like a broken record by now, but this award will never be possible without the hard work, passion, dedication and creativity of our AirAsia Allstars. Each and every one of them should be proud that their commitment to the airline has once again put AirAsia on the world map. Let’s celebrate, and continue to make our guests’ experience with us even better.”

The airline is known for its innovations, popularizing technology-backed travel services such as web and mobile bookings; web, mobile and kiosk check-in services; no admin fees and the use of social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Weibo, YouTube, Instagram and its blog in engaging with guests in real-time throughout the globe.

Who cares about a boycott if the regulators don't even ALLOW you to fly in in the first place???

Good greif. You need to be able to take-off safetly first.

....the US as the FAA classifies Indonesia as not meeting minimum air safety oversight requirements.

Indonesia's Lion Air stuns again with Airbus deal
AFP March 18, 2013, 10:03 pm

http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/business/a/-/world/16393874/indonesias-lion-air-stuns-again-with-airbus-deal


JAKARTA (AFP) - Lion Air, a little-known carrier launched 13 years ago with just one plane, has struck two of the world's largest aircraft orders in a staggering $46 billion bet on Indonesia's air transport boom.

France announced Monday that Indonesia's fastest-growing airline had agreed to buy 234 medium-haul A320 jets worth $23.8 billion (18.4 billion euros) from European aerospace giant Airbus.

French President Francois Hollande described the "historic" deal as the biggest in the history of civil aviation.

The agreement was signed at the Elysee Palace by Airbus head Fabrice Bregier and his Lion Air counterpart Rusdi Kirana.

The deal comes after Lion Air astounded the industry with a $22.4 billion agreement for 230 Boeing 737 airliners, inked in 2011 as a visiting US President Barack Obama looked on.

The impressive orders are in sharp contrast with the size of the company, which is banned from US and EU skies over safety fears.

Founded in 1999 by brothers Kusnan and Rusdi Kirana, who are ranked the 33rd richest Indonesians with collective wealth of $900 million, Lion Air is the first private airline in Indonesia, a sprawling archipelago nation.

Currently it operates a relatively modest 92 planes -- all Boeings except for one McDonnell Douglas -- which makes it number nine among regional carriers in terms of fleet size.

Its 72 destinations are mostly in Indonesia, and the furthest it flies is to Saudi Arabia -- a route mostly packed with domestic workers and construction labourers.

Nevertheless, the company has huge ambitions and is betting big on the formidable expansion of air transport in Indonesia, which is experiencing passenger growth of around 20 percent every year.

With 240 million people, Indonesia is the world's fourth most populous nation, and embraces more than 17,000 islands scattered across 33 provinces.

Annual economic growth exceeds 6.0 percent and there is a burgeoning middle class which is keen to abandon travel by bus, ferry and train and instead take to the skies for holidays and family visits.

Despite its regulatory woes, Lion Air is intent on spreading its wings internationally, and is expected this year to launch its long-haul arm, Batik Air, with six Boeing 737s and five Boeing B787 Dreamliners.

Last September it also announced the launch of another offshoot, Malindo Airways, which will begin regional operations in May from Malaysia, the home turf of Lion Air's main rival AirAsia.

The vast potential of Indonesia's aviation market, and the scope for offshoot carriers, supports the scale of Lion Air's orders, said Brendan Sobie from the Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation in Singapore.

"They see an increase in demand that is brought on by the conditions in the home market. If you look at the projections for growth in Indonesia, assuming that Lion maintains its current market share and leading position, they are going to need a few hundred more aircraft just to keep that position," he said.

"They also have an ambition to play more in international markets and to open up affiliates in other countries."

Observers said that Lion Air wants to replicate the success of AirAsia, the region's low-cost pioneer which has flourished from its Kuala Lumpur base under the charismatic leadership of founder Tony Fernandes.

"I think Lion Air wants to show that it can beat Tony Fernandes," said Dudi Sudibyo, an expert from aviation magazine Angkasa.

"But the questions now are -- who will fly those planes, where will the planes be parked, and how do they finance this?" he said, adding that the Airbus deal would likely be funded by a consortium.

With both mega-purchases in place, Lion Air would boast more than 600 aircraft by 2025, making it among the top ten of the world's biggest airlines in terms of fleet size.

In 2007 Lion was among a number of Indonesian airlines banned by the EU for lax safety standards. Flag carrier Garuda Indonesia and several other firms were taken off the blacklist in July 2009 but Lion Air is still on it.

Under present Federal Aviation Administration rules it would not normally be allowed to begin services to the US as the FAA classifies Indonesia as not meeting minimum air safety oversight requirements.

Airasia: Competition is not unusual
http://www.intellecpoint.com/2012/12/airasia-competition-is-not-unusual.html

For a business that has gained momentum, competition is not unusual. Think of the days when PC started - when Apple became a hit, there were tonnes of brands later on. I remember I made a mistake in buying an expensive brand, Amstrad, a brand which you may not have heard of anymore today. Competing against Amstrad, there were thousands of brands, from larger names such as IBM, later Compaq, HP to house brands in Malaysia. Try naming the few surviving PC brands in the world today...

Similarly when the automotive industry was just beginning to be a product for the masses in the 1920s, there were thousands of automotive players in US and Europe. How many are there left today? If you read about the Cola business, it was the same - thousands of them and today left with mainly the 2 big names. Imagine how can a soft drink business selling water and sugar be mainly left with 2 very large companies dominating in this world? There's no technology involved. Neither is it a high barrier of entry business. Other businesses except for the B2B business or where there are protectionism, the trend will remain the same. In fact, in 1984, in a landmark decision, the court splits AT&T into 7 operating Baby Bells. Now there remain to be 2 large (AT&T and Verizon) and 2 smaller players (Sprint and T-Mobile) in the duopoly telecommunication sector in US. Such is the nature of competition. In the low cost carrier business, let me highlight a paragraph on competition from Wikipedia on Ryanair - the dominant low cost player in Europe.

Ryanair on competition

Ryanair now has a number of low-cost competitors. In 2004, approximately 60 new low-cost airlines were formed. Although traditionally a full-service airline, Aer Lingus moved to a low-fares strategy from 2002, leading to a much more intense competition with Ryanair on Irish routes.

Airlines which attempt to compete directly with Ryanair are treated competitively, with Ryanair being accused by some of reducing fares to significantly undercut their competitors. In response to MyTravelLite, who started to compete with Ryanair on the Birmingham to Dublin route in 2003, Ryanair set up competing flights on some of MyTravelLite's routes until they pulled out. Go was another airline which attempted to offer services from Ryanair's base at Dublin to Glasgow and Edinburgh in Scotland. A fierce battle ensued, which ended with Go withdrawing its service from Dublin.

In September 2004, Ryanair's biggest competitor, EasyJet, announced routes to the Republic of Ireland for the first time, beginning with the Cork to London Gatwick route. Until then, EasyJet had never competed directly with Ryanair on its home ground. EasyJet announced in July 2006, that it was withdrawing its Gatwick-Cork, Gatwick-Shannon and Gatwick-Knock services; within two weeks, Ryanair also announced it would withdraw its own service on the Gatwick-Knock and Luton-Shannon routes.

Ryanair has also responded to the decision of another low-cost carrier, Wizz Air that plans moving its flight operations from Warsaw Chopin Airport in Poland to the new low-cost Warsaw Modlin Airport in Nowy Dwór Mazowiecki. Ryanair had previously operated the route to Dublin from Warsaw but they withdrew claiming that the fees at Warsaw's main airport were too high. When Wizz Air announced they would start operations from Modlin Airport, Ryanair announced several new routes from the same airport, most of which being exactly the same routes as offered by Wizz Air.

From the 60 low cost carriers in Europe, the numbers is much reduced today and in fact, the ones that are really doing well in Europe now remain to be Ryanair and EasyJet. In fact, Ryanair continues to grow in the low-cost airline space and at the expense of other low-cost as well as national airlines. Hence, it is not easy for new low-cost carrier especially when it is a business that relies on high capital expenditure. The stronger the company the more avenue for it to compete against its competitors. Not many companies can obtain financing that easily. Ryanair in fact is the most hated airline in the whole of Europe but it is the most successful today. Amazing on the part of business isn't it?

Many people I know said that Tony Fernandez followed the business footsteps of Richard Branson in the business of airline _Virgin Air. I don't think so (although could not qualify on this) as if you look at the early days of Airasia, one name Conor McCarthy who was the ex-director of operations of Ryanair was a member in the board of Airasia (now still is). Hence, Airasia despite the difficulties may have had begun on the right note with the right people...

Brings to mind the Simon & Garfunkel tune Slip Slind'in away...

Operational efficiencies!

Some food for thought from intellectpoint.com (Serious Investing)
http://www.intellecpoint.com/2012/09/airasia-experience-you-do-not-play-by.html

Now it seems that Airasia may not be acquiring Batavia Air. What could have happened.

You should know by now that Airasia, under Tony Fernandez does not play by the rules (or rather whims and fancy) of each respective country that they it is operating in. Dealing with governments, they are always tough. Throughout the 10+ years that Airasia has been operating in, "simple" has never been in the dictionary of the airline operation business. You play by the rules, you are already dead by now. You get routes, you do not get routes. Unfortunately, that is the case and scenario of the airline business.

Prior to the MAS-Airasia share swap announcement, there was rumour that Airasia was moving its base to Indonesia which of course Tony denied. Of course then, after that Airasia announced the working partnership as well as share swap deal with MAS which I do not see the logic. Story turned, the share swap was off and Airasia was back to Indonesia and in fact they announced the acquisition of Batavia Air. Look at Batavia Air. The acquisition is never for the synergies but for the immediate penetration of the Indonesian market. The planes are not the same, The age of the airplanes, I am sure Airasia would be replacing them. The routes and agencies are probably what Airasia is going for. And then, there must be something wrong with the statement by this Indonesian minister. Anything wrong here? Something to do with someone is not getting what he wants? These guys have to be brought to their senses. On one end, they want to improve the efficiencies and status of the airline industry in Indonesia. On the other end, something else are more important.

Then of course with our Malaysian Prime Minister's endorsements, the set up of Malindo Airways. Scaring tactic? Of course, I am pro competition, but why an Indonesian airline. Why not Jetstar or any other private airlines that are more established? Then who is NADI? You do not bring an amateur to fight against a professional. As much as I like the stories of underdogs, most of the time, the David(s) suffered losses to the Goliath(s) - sometimes heavily.

The one advantage which is all above the rest for Airasia - operational efficiencies....

Safety is a key consideration!

Some food for thought from intellectpoint.com (Serious Investing)
http://www.intellecpoint.com/2012/09/malindo-vs-airasia.html

I think if the drop (from RM3.30 to RM2.95) in Airasia's shares are to be taken as a signal due to the launch of Malindo Air, do take a note of the joint venture. Based on track record, the JV party who probably would be bringing more food onto the table i.e. giving a threat to Airasia is the Indonesian party - Lion Air, not NADI. However do check on Lion Air in wikipedia.

I have mentioned before that a probable factor that Airasia is able to have a stronger presence in Indonesia is due to airline safety in Indonesia. The track record of airline safety in Indonesia is poor and probably the government of Indonesia felt that it needs to improve on that. Airasia is a Low Cost Airline but it is an airline with good track record in terms of airline safety. It is a private airline. It does not have the baggage of a "Scoot" partly owned by SIA, which has a low chance of getting into another country's airline ownership. SIA has tried owning a Chinese airline before and the attempt was rejected by the Chinese government - an example.

The more I looked (or searched) at Malindo Air, the more I think this is just a scare to show to Airasia that if Airasia can move some of its operations to Indonesia, the Malaysian government can do the same i.e. attract an Indonesian airline to partner with a local Malaysian here. The problem is though that this Indonesian airline does not have the standing of Airasia.

I am just thinking - is this due to open skies policies or more of a "dare" thing...whatever it is, competition is good....

Good morning everyone!

AirAsia wins Air Transport News ‘Low Cost Airline of the Year’ awardSource: AirAsia 18/03/2013

AirAsia adds another feather in its hat by winning the Air Transport News (ATN) ‘2013 Low Cost Airline of the Year’ award, at the 2013 ATN Awards Ceremony held at the Hilton Bonaventure in Montreal, Canada yesterday.

The ATN Awards, in its second consecutive year, established a reputation as a major distinction for leading companies and personalities in the air transport industry. The ‘Low Cost Airline of the Year’ award, won by AirAsia, is one of the newly established categories for 2013 and the airline was the first to assume the honour. AirAsia Group Head of Customer Experience, Zaman Ahmad, accepted the award on behalf of the airline.
AirAsia Group CEO Tony Fernandes said, “We are greatly honoured to be presented the 2013 Air Transport News ‘Low Cost Airline of the Year’ award, one of the aviation industry’s prestigious honours. Our never-ending dedication in providing premium services with low fares, constant innovations and matchless synergy of our short-haul and long-haul networks have greatly contributed to our success as the best low cost airline in the world.

It is simply amazing to think that 11 years ago we only had 2 old planes in operation, and now we are operating 120 planes in five countries and continue to be the most profitable airline, despite volatile economic conditions. Thank you for the great honour bestowed upon us. We are deeply flattered and this award is truly a great start to 2013.”

AirAsia was shortlisted as one of the finalists in the ‘Low Cost Airline of the Year’ category by votes from ATN readers. AirAsia pipped the other finalists for the award through final judgment by a highly experienced jury panel.

The panel of adjudicators consisted of international industry experts, which included Dr. Andreas Papatheodorou (Managing Director, DATTEA Consulting), Bob Aaronson (ex-Director, General ACI), Dr. Pierre Coutu (Program Executive, AMPAP & President ASI), David Feldman (Managing Partner, Exambela Consulting), Antonis Simigdalas (Past President, European Regions Airline Association), Ulrich Shulte-Strathaus (ex-Secretary General, AEA) and Chris Tarry (CTAIRA).

Managing Director of Air Transport News, Dr Kostas Iatrou said, “ATN Awards have already become an important event in the air transport industry with an exposure to the whole world. Also ATN Awards are the only international prizes that award all the main categories of the air transport industry. It is important to recognize and honor the best of the best both personalities and companies of the commercial aviation that helped the industry to move forward.”

All six of AirAsia Group’s airlines in Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines and Japan operate one of the youngest fleet of Airbus A320 in the world. Apart from a modern fleet, the airline presents unbeatable low fares, extensive route network, great flight frequencies, convenient booking and payment channels and value added add-ons such as meals, seat allocations and baggage allowances.

The airline is also known for its innovations, popularizing technology-backed travel services such as web and mobile bookings; web, mobile and kiosk check-in services; and the use of advanced communication channels and popular social media platforms in engaging with guests in real-time, throughout the globe.

I hate flying. As far as I'm concerned, no take-off or landing is fun/good.

But. This?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kXUfwXZY4I

@Anybody here got bad experiences in AA landings and take-offs?

Seriously? Why not any other airline on the planet?

A bad experience is one thing. THIS....my friends....is quite another...
