Real cost of AAsia operations to Malaysia
Maybe its already too late to evaluate the real costs & benefits of AK & D7 to the country. MH is already dead in the water. MAHB on the way there. Still the government to dragging its feet in coming out with a workable blueprint on civil aviation in this country of ours.
This on-going corporate behaviour of AAsia Group puts Malaysia in a bad light in corporate governance as well.
WCK, the worse is just round the corner for all related industries connected to air transport in Malaysia. Foreign carriers like the ME3 et al are under no obligation to help improve business & leisure travel into/out of Malaysia. With MH just about gone, Oneworld has been a disappointment & will continue to do so, until by sheer providence, Herr Mueller can turnaround the national icon. With the current behind the scenes action by invisible hands, it has made the task next to impossible.
All the above were ignited by AAsia wanting to have a level playing field. That’s the real cost.
Wonder if all the talk of MH offloading its widebody fleet is geared at funding A350-900 orders (D7 orders & options!)…..hope not.
Itu paria no more money laaa… how to move to terminal 1.. Try that crap in other airports elsewhere & he’ll get his slimy ass kicked!
On another note let AAX have all the international sectors….let’s see how long they can last!
Airlines were never meant to be low cost business models… you can’t take short cuts on regulatory obligations & safety requirements which costs big money… let’s see how long they can keep spinning
Unfortunately AA seems to be favoured by the govt to be the future national carrier
Only in Malaysia tercinta can such tolerant bullshit evolve to new heights
Liow is just useless and directionless. How could a govt/Minister of Transport be pushed around to such an extend by a low caste carrier? The pariah tried to delay to move to KLIA2 but when the authority was firm AA moved to KLIA 2 with its tail between its legs.
The ball-less Minister of Transport and MAHB should stand firm. Give the low caste a dateline after which date just close down Terminal 2 or withdraw all facilities in Terminal. When that happened lets see what can Tony/AA do.
The same for he outstanding PSC debt, just give notice and suspend all facilities and I beg you that low caste will come running to settle the debt like what had happened in Indonesia.
MAHB & government got bullied by AIrAsia becos of the useless Liow Tiong Lai. The outstanding PSC and the shifting to Terminal 1 are non issues. Just suspend all airport facilities in Terminal 2. The pariah will be on his knee and shift to Terminal 1 and also pay up the outstanding PSC. Unfortunately, we have a useless MCA Minister. Najib should sack him or move him to be the Minister for Women Affairs, the most suitable port folio!
I have never heard of an airline owing airport authority for PSC and etc. It only happened to MAHB. A bunch of idiots heading MAHB. To recover PSC debt is easy just withdraw all facilities. To get airline to move to new terminal, just give them dateline and close the airport when the dateline expired. But MAHB and the pondan Liow scared to do it. Why?
As had been pointed out by one reader, an MCA leader was a director of AirAsia and his name is Fam Lee Ee. Now you should know why. That Liow is just useless and good for nothing. Economic Council chaired by PM met twice and decided that all airlines must move to Terminal 1. But this useless Liow is still dragging his feet. MAHB is another spineless organisation. PM must step in and sack these idiots otherwise nothing will move and AirAsia will just drag on and on.
Bo Liow, just resign lah because you are just wasting our money. You are just a gaji buta. You have shown that you cannot handle matters in Ministry of Transport.
Few things to consider;
AirAsia is a private carrier. It is not compelled to put the rakyat, or the country’s interests above those of it’s shareholders.
The argument that increased PSC at Terminal 1 would be borne, in part, by passengers and not AirAsia is not in question. It will however lead to increased air fares which would not add to AirAsia’s bottom line. There is clearly no reason for AirAsia to make a move.
If MoT/ MAHB wanted to get tough then it has 2 options.
1. Raise the PSC at Terminal 2 to equal or greater than the PSC at Terminal 1.
2. Decommission Terminal 2 thereby forcing AirAsia to move to Terminal 1.
The risk is AirAsia may make good it’s threat to relocate outside of Malaysia. To this I say fine, do it! The LCC landscape has change over the last decade and Fernandez will find it tough competing against LCC’s in any foreign country.
Please understand what is a LCCT and a Low cost carrier. Any increased in airport charges will be passed on to the travelers and all the efforts taken by Air Asia to promote keep the price of air travel attractive will be defeated.
If you have traveled in low cost carrier oversea especially in Europe you will understand the level of service provided by LCC to keep Air Travel cheap and attractive.
This is what AirAsia trying to drive to airport operators. They always look for cutting edge opportunity to keep the service level to traveller cheap and acceptable. Look at KLIA2 will anyone call it a LCC Terminal…….. In the end who is going to pay for the luxury of these services which is not inline with the requirement of a LCC
Like another reader had said there is no room for low cost airline in the aviation industry. This low caste and low caste airline are always demanding that the govt and airport authority must follow its business model i.e. no PSC, no aerobridge if possible government to provide free petrol and guarantee 30% of profits yearly for the low caste and cronies.
What bloody nonsense that the govt must bow to its business model! But when the low caste airline flies to foreign destination it didn’t make demand for no aerobridge, no PSC and or to fly an airport that is outdated so no need to pay or owe PSC.
Members of the public are willing to pay for the PSC if it mean more convenience and comfortable. If th low caste airline is not agreeable then it shouldn’t have collected the PSC and treat as its income by not handing over to MAB. To keep the air travel cheap is not make huge profit and to cut down its profit margin. The moral of the story is – You cannot have the cake and eat it at the same time.
MAB/Government should not be held ransom by this Pariah. Just close Terminal 2. I am sure that the pariah will immediately move to Terminal. It is just playing the fool with MAB because of the Pondan Minister Liow.
There are many Dunggus in MAHB. Then you have a ball-less Minister Liow. No wonder thenPariah is able to dictate terms.
Until now we have heard nothing from MAHB with regards to Air Asia shifting to Terminal 1 of Kota Kinabalu International Airport. This goes to show that a bunch of idiots are managing MAHB.
As stakeholders of both MAHB and AirAsia, we have to find a common ground. Firstly, MAHB may have to reconsider revisiting the charges of $65.00.Secondly, AirAsia, may have to review its prices charged to customers. For the convenience and safety offered through the aerobridge and other services by MAHB, the customers must pay, however, AirAsia should consider absorbing a portion of customer cost. This means customer pay a little extra, AirAsia does not lose but make a little less and MAHB does not lose for services rendered.
AirAsia settle its payment to MAHB progressively within 12 months.
Finally, if each party i.e.customers,AirAsia and MAHB holds on to its ways without a compromise the problem cannot be solved. Thank you.
