Updates @ 8:30 pm 26-3-2012: TV 3 News at 8: “SC said there is a basis to investigate into MAS for insiders trading related to the MAS – AirAsia share swap. But SC cleared AirAsia for it.” Next posting will be on what AJ and Tan Sri Azman Mokhtar briefed the MPs in Parliament in Parliament House this afternoon..
In November 2010 Firefly commenced its commercial jets for domestic routes and begin with crossover routes, e.g. Kota Kinabalu and Kuching, on Jan 15. Asean will be its next stop. Firefly started to operate new routes with is jets to compete with AirAsia. Competition is, of course, good for consumers/travelers. AirAsia and AirAsia X Sdn Bhd began to feel the heat. Read HERE.

Tony: The truth hurts!
Tony Fernandes’ Comment:
Tony Fernandes
MP Wee,
Your comments are disgraceful for a Member of Parliament.
AirAsia X has been open about the RAS issue. All our accounts have been audited by the Auditor-General’s Office. If there remains dissatisfaction, we are more than happy to have the Public Accounts Committee go through the accounts again.
Time and time again, you have repeated your baseless allegations. Yet, each time we suggest a face-to-face meeting, you have refused to accept our offer.
The last straw is dragging my late mother into this issue. There is no need to get personal. I am sure you would not want anyone to denigrate your family members as well.
Once again, I extend you an invitation to AirAsia X to meet with our management team so that we can answer any queries that you have. Azran, Kamarudin and I are at your disposal. We hope that together we can lay the issue to rest.
Tony
Was Tony trying to spin again?
“Tan Sri Tony Fernandes has denied that AirAsia benefited from the RM249 mil in Government subsidies paid to Fly Asian Xpress (FAX) for rural air service operations four years ago. Fernandes said that although the shareholders of FAX were similar to AirAsia, they ended up losing almost RM5 mil of shareholder capital owing to the wind-up costs of FAX.” Read HERE for full report. Was the report the truth of the situation or another spin by Tan Sri Tony Fernandes?
Questions Time 3-11-2011: Pada 2006 Kerajaan telah membayar subsidi RM250 juta kpd AirAsia/AirAsia X Sdn Bhd
YB Dato’ Hj Mohd Hayati bin Othman [Pendang] minta Menteri Pengangkutan menyatkan jumlah subsidi yang diberikan kepada AirAsia semasa mereka melksanakan khidmat Rural Air Services (RAS) sebelum mereka kemudianya menarik diri.
TF didn’t tell the whole truth about AirAsia X & RAS
Updated: 25-10-2011 Please read the article quoted from Business Time report dated 21-7-2006 – AirAsia not the ‘golden child’. You will see from this report how AirAsia got all the helps (i.e. AirAsia was given 91 trunk routes and etc) from the Badawi’s Administration under the so-called “domestic air rationalisation exercise” and AirAsia grew at the expense of MAS.
Below was what Tan Sri Tony Fernandes had been reported to have said as reported by the Star on 26-4-2007 when the then Minister of Transport, Datuk Chan Kong Choy, announced that FAX/AirAsia X Sdn Bhd had to return the Rural Air Services (RAS) in Sabah and Sarawak to MAS.
“Fernandes said FAX would be launching AirAsia Long Haul operations soon, and that it would be too distracting to operate turbo-propeller aircraft as well.”
AirAsia Bhd & AirAsia X Sdn Bhd kept RM6.895 millions of unclaimed Airport Tax
AirAsia Bhd and AirAsia X Sdn Bhd, formerly known as Fly Asian Express Sdn Bhd a.k.a FAX of Rural Air Services (RAS) fame, kept the unclaimed Airport Tax for the no-show passengers where both companies have forfeited their fares. By right both companies should immediately refund in full the collected Airport Tax the moment they forfeited fares of the no-show passengers.
Dr Wafi’s advice to all employees of MAS
Dr Wafi Nazrin Tan Sri Abdul Hamid, the Head of Legal and Risk Department of MAS and an expert in competition law, has given a very good advice to the members staff of MAS on the MAS – AirAsia’s “Collaborative Frameworks”. Please read his e-mail and the reply from one of the MAS unions below. Read Here for related article.
