In the details of the creditors contained in the statement, AirAsia X owes about RM600 mil to passengers and travel agents, thus it will have to pay RM2.9 mil as settlement if approved.
Promises meant to be broken?
In late March, AirAsia Group CEO Tan Sri Tony Fernandes has said in a video posted on the social media that AirAsia had around 450,000 customers who had yet to be refunded.
The airline tycoon said the company would try to gradually pay the customers off in the form of credit shells. He also thanked 2.9 million of their customers who opted for the credit shell refund scheme in the video.
Since January of this year, he said the AirAsia group have given out 1.5 million refunds. Credit shells is a form of credit which passengers can use to make another booking in the future. Due to the viral outbreak of COVID-19, that credit is valid for up to two years.
“This will cause a riot … Some lawyers should take up the case to fight for the passengers’ refund,” an AirAsia frequent flyer told FocusM on condition of anonymity “Or collectively, file reports in the small claims court.”

Thai AirAsia parent seeks to raise US$540mil in fresh capital Author: Tan KW Publish date: Thu, 21 Oct 2021, 11:19 AM
BANGKOK: Asia Aviation Pcl, the operator of Thailand’s biggest budget carrier Thai AirAsia Co, plans to raise as much as 17.9 billion baht (US$535mil or RM2.23bil) from new loans, share sales and convertible-debt offerings as it attempts to restock coffers depleted by the worst crisis in aviation history.
A revised financial restructuring plan for the company has been put forward and Asia Aviation is consulting with new investors, shareholders and creditors, Asia Aviation said in an exchange filing.
The holding company joins a plethora of airlines globally trying to repair their balance sheets after Covid-19 all but put a stop to international air travel in early 2020.
While climbing vaccination rates are seeing travel spring back in some parts of the world, in Asia it’s nowhere near pre-pandemic levels. Thai Airways International Pcl and Nok Airlines Pcl are also pursuing financial restructurings.
Asia Aviation chief executive officer Santisuk Klongchaiya said the fresh funds should allow the airline to increase flights amid an expected recovery in tourism and travel.
Thailand’s capital Bangkok has administered at least two doses of Covid vaccine to 71% of its adult population, paving the way for the city to welcome back inoculated visitors without mandatory quarantine from Nov 1, officials said yesterday.
Asia Aviation plans to raise a total of 8.8 billion baht from a private share sale to Malaysia’s AirAsia Group Bhd and an individual investor.
That will comprise around 4.5 billion of new shares to AirAsia to raise 7.8 billion baht and another sale to a group of investors led by Pitharn Ongkosit, the chief executive officer of KCE Electronics Pcl, to raise one billion baht .
It will also raise 2.2 billion baht from sales of convertible bonds and three billion baht from a rights offering. Around 3.9 billion baht will come from loans.
Asia Aviation, which owns a 55% stake in Thai AirAsia, will use most of the proceeds to acquire the shares of Thai AirAsia it doesn’t already control. Other funds will be used to repay debt.
Will Thai AirAsia end up like Japan ? What will make a difference here ?

i always have a question in mind. There is no insurance plan for tourism now. Example if you travel to oversea for holiday with family, and touch wood one of your family member fall in sick with covid, (this passenger will not able to board the plane due to covid) , so what do you do? Send to local hospital or can self quarantine at hotel or what is plan B? until this is address, people will lack of interest to fly oversea as we dont know what to do if a person infected at oversea and how much money you need to allocate for extended stay.
Not to mention the quarantine period need to go through when return from oversea. Most of working adult only has 15 to 20 annual leaves so who will want to spend all their vacation in quarantine?
now only those who really need to fly (business, study or migration) will do so. Otherwise generally are still adopting wait and see approach or just go for local road trip will do. How is this impact to airline business?
Cheeseburger - if you ALWAYS had those questions in mind, you should maybe bother to find the answer. The answer is there. Have you traveled? You sound like katak di bawah tempurung. Lol
and yet i can tell you there is no answer to that yet unless there are people who never thought of what if they infected covid overseas. The basic answer is you take care of your ownself.
Cheeseburgee - i can't help but feel sorry for people like you who know nothing but only to comment.
Well to answer your question, i have done over 900 flights this year. Not just one country but to many MANY countries with different take on covid19. Covered 4 continents thus far. So i can firmly say, i know it better than anyone else over here unless you are in my field. I hope that answers your question. And if one gets positive with covid19 in another country, there are answers for that unfavourable to the passenger.
My advice ti you, if you dont know, dont say things here and look dumb and ignorant.
Call me an old geezer, but I don't think zoom can fully replace face-to-face meeting, it's not the same. So business travel dead? I have my doubts. but 1st class travel is on the donwtrend for a long time now, but that is another story for another day
Blackhawk, you can draw a good picture if you want. We are talking about generally for the public, not yourself. Dont look up yourself too high or think you are very big star.
90 flights over 365 days? 1 flight every 4 days? hahahaha comon, which country allow you do so with border closed?
For you small little brain info, if you had one, before covid, i almost travelled weekly or bi-monthly and cover about 100 flights in 2 years. That is for work not travel for fun.
we should all buy airasia. pay creditors including passengers 0.1% only. Other creditors have earn money from Airasia with supply of products or services. Passengers??? Passengers pay money for tickets but when ask for refund as to wait. After waiting pay u back 0.1% Why don't TF and gang come out with private placement to help, after enjoying all the good times. Passengers should join and take class action. Every creditor should be given a debt/Equity conversion to enjoy upside
