AirAsiaX is suspending services out of Auckland from early February.

The airline says it aims to be back as soon as possible as Auckland and New Zealand are key destinations for it.

AirAsia X said in November it would re-route its Auckland service to Kuala Lumpur via Sydney to a stop in the Gold Coast.

But now it has ditched New Zealand altogether and is offering refunds for affected passengers.

AirAsia X CEO Benyamin Ismail said: “We truly regret having to make this tough decision to temporarily suspend our services to and from Auckland from early February next year.

“However, Auckland remains one of our guests’ favourite bucket list destinations and we aim to return again in the future, once market conditions are more favourable and once more aircraft resume operations.’'

He said that like other airlines, it was working hard to reactivate more aircraft as soon as possible and will certainly reconsider Auckland services again in the future.

“We sincerely apologise to guests affected by this decision who are booked to fly with us to and from Auckland from early February next year and will ensure that we prioritise guest reimbursements as soon as possible.”

If want go New Zealand, might as well take Quantas or even MAS. Unless you wanna sleep all the way there via AirAsia X.

Anything nice to do in Fuckland?

Refund buy another Tesla

Even the Air New Zealand dont want to fly into KLIA....

new zealand route normally not earning money for airlines

i wented so many country , NZ- southern island is like my top 3 best place to go. nowhere in kelantan beats that.

u do realise airasia need to earn their own money right? not like the next door premium flag carrier that non stop taking billions of the countries fund right?

even my office toilet looks better than aeon kelantan

Kazakhstan more important.

ppl take airasia because the price is significantly lower than full service airlines during pre-covid times but post-covid times AA price like almost same with other full service airlines. RM2k+ to go japan. i better top up a bit take ANA or MAS.
