AirAsia India maiden flight takes off on June 12

AirAsia India which is finally taking off after much delay from its initial planned timeframe is definitely in party mode as its maiden flight would be to Goa, a former Portuguese province.

The first flight would take off on June 12 from India's silicon city Bangalore and land in Goa - which attracts a large number of foreign and domestic tourists mainly for its beaches and party environment.

Fares are from Rs990 inclusive taxes (RM54) onwards, Indian media reported.

Panaji is the state's capital, while Vasco da Gama is the largest city.

AirAsia denies funding issue reason for corporate office staying on at LCCT

In a statement Monday, the carrier clarified that it was in the midst of obtaining approvals from local authorities for its new office building at klia2 and did not face any funding issues, as claimed in the published article.

Responding to the article, AirAsia said it was requested to reduce the height of its new building when the control tower at klia2 was relocated to a new site upon instruction by the authorities.

As a result of the reduced height, the original site and plan for the new office building became structurally uneconomical, it said.

The carrier said a new site had to be identified and plans had to be redrawn and re-submitted for approval which has adjusted the timeline of the new office building significantly for AirAsia.

It said construction of the new building was expected to commence in July 2014 for completion late next year.

Rakuten to invest in AirAsia Japan

JAPAN’S top e-commerce site operator Rakuten will enter the air travel business by allying with Asia’s biggest low-cost carrier, AirAsia, a report said yesterday.

Rakuten is preparing to make a capital injection in AirAsia’s Japanese unit, possibly next year, the Toyo Keizai economic magazine said on its online edition.

Two or three more Japanese companies may also put cash into AirAsia Japan, it said.

The Toyo Keizai said one of the likeliest ideas was that Rakuten and AirAsia could hold a maximum one-third each of the Japanese unit’s shares with the remaining one-third held by a combination of other Japanese firms.

Public broadcaster NHK said talks were being held with the aim of Rakuten getting a stake of around 15 to 19 per cent for a little more than one billion yen (RM31.53 million).

Japan’s aviation law limits a foreign equity stake in a Japanese airline to one-third.

The new carrier could operate flights linking central Japan’s Chubu Centrair airport with main Japanese destinations, the Toyo Keizai said.

The magazine quoted a senior official at the transport ministry as saying it was aiming to start flight services next year.

How man LCC can Japan support

These are the existing LCC in Japan:
Skymark
Jetstar Japan
Peach
Vanilla Air (formerly Air Asia Japan, before AA group pulled out)

we shall wait for the day. who knows this time AA Japan got different "strategy"

From what I know, other LCC in Japan use hybrid model. But Tony believes that AA's 'pure LCC' model is the way to go.
