This waiver was for a period of five years (2002-2007) and was applicable not only at KLIA but also at all other airports in Malaysia that AirAsia may operate to. This waiver was for both domestic and international flights, which includes landing, parking, aerobridge and check-in counter charges. AirAsia also enjoyed special rental rates for office space at all airports.<BR/><BR/>malaysiaaiports.wordpress.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19741162.post-41836230068590957872009-01-12T23:15:00.000+08:002009-01-12T23:15:00.000+08:00Thank you for your write up...Tahniah...anda membe...Thank you for your write up...<BR/><BR/>Tahniah...anda memberi ulasan berdasarkan fakta dan smaklumat....namun sedihnya yang pengunjumg yang lsain memberi feedback berdasarkan emotional dan fikiran tanpa ilmu...<BR/><BR/>Contoh komen tanpa fakta tapi cuma ikut perasaan dan tiada nilai ilmu pengetahuan:<BR/>"salam<BR/>biar la n9 ado airport..<BR/>ado kerajaan mintak duit kt ko tok buat airport?<BR/><BR/>apo la nak jadik la ekau nie?<BR/>mcm bagus..<BR/><BR/>ko nie 'jobo' tau tak?<BR/>gi tanyo owang.. jobo tuh apo??<BR/><BR/>-ahlang- <BR/>salam setiakawan<BR/><BR/><BR/>Sekali lagi tahniah kerana mampu memberi fakta yang tepat dan penyelidikan yang ssrapi....<BR/><BR/>Rakyat mudah terdaya dengan kata-kata dan perasaan shingga buta kepada fakta.<BR/><BR/>Sekarang saya sedar...AirAsia menipu penumpang...dalam ticket charge airport tax...tapi duit tu tak bagi pun kat MAB.....Malunya Airasia....guna duit tax penumpangs sebgai sumber cash flow...<BR/><BR/>No wonder la dulu tak sabar-sabar nak ambil operasi MAS di pendalamans Sabah dan Sersawak...kononnya boleh lebih cekap dan boleh buat untung lebih berbanding MAS....rupa-rupanya BOLEH BLAH....bukan setakat tak boleh uruskan penerbangan disana tetapi tak tau baiki kapal terbang pun.....Bila dah tak boleh handle dengan muka tak malu boleh pula...menangis kat kerajaan paksa MAS ambik balik.....Macam ni budak habis SPM pun boleh untung...Business tak laku bagi balik suruh org lain ambik...kemudian hutang tak mau bayar.....<BR/><BR/>Tunggulah nasib sebenar Airasia bila tak ada BAPA nak lindung dia......<BR/><BR/>MAB sbelong to rakyat....MAS sbelong to rakyat....sAirasia belong to crony.....tapi seperti biasa rakyat akan benci Organisasi milik rakyat sebab diuruskan oleh Bumiputra.....Let said Proton,MAS & MAB belong to non-Bumi....will others condemm?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19741162.post-66570939626512610112009-01-11T11:23:00.000+08:002009-01-11T11:23:00.000+08:00If AirAsia is so interested inthe domestic routes ...If AirAsia is so interested inthe domestic routes why must it give up the Sabah-Sarawak sector after operating it for only one year and being subsidised for it? Because of its shenanigans at least 10 capable captions of the Fokker Friendship lost their jobs and are now in Kazakhstan and other countries. Yet we are said to be short of Fokker pilots. So what's the drift? <BR/>The new LCCT in Labu is a waste of the country's limited resources which could be employed elsewhere and especially during current economic slowdown.<BR/>What is their rationale for it if not to spite Tun Dr Mahathir for building the KLIA which was planned to cater for KL's airport needs for another 20 years.<BR/>Looks as if this guy Tony Fernandez is riding high what with support from Khairy and Kallimullah. But behind all the facade of success some rot is already setting in.<BR/>Last I heard both Tony and Kalli have already gone to Mas asking it to come to Air Asia's rescue.<BR/>Another question I would like to pose: why must the governmet gurantee Air Asia's forays into ordering so many Air Busses?<BR/>Why must the taxpayer bear the brunt of Air Asia's excesses?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19741162.post-7771145702639017822009-01-11T08:51:00.000+08:002009-01-11T08:51:00.000+08:00Mr. PadedohI know how to think like a businessmen....Mr. Padedoh<BR/><BR/>I know how to think like a businessmen. And I know what is in the mind of a corporate player like Kamaruddin Meranun. Tony is just the face to auta. <BR/><BR/>Why should I think like a businessmen? <BR/><BR/>Lets refresh a mxim in Financial Theory's: Corporation objective is maximise shareholders value. That would to max. dividends (ie profit), and shares value (ie tangible and non tangible asset value). It could really be done or a perception of being done. <BR/><BR/>It does not say anything about community, nation building, consumers needs and rights (remember the Airasia and OKU issue), business ethics, CSR, etc. <BR/><BR/>Show me an honest businessmen, I can show you a thousand and maybe 10,000 crooked ones. By not thinking like a businessmen, the probability is I am not in company of crooks.<BR/><BR/>Without reservation, there are devious and evil characters in Airasia and linked to Airasia. THEY DO NOT SERVE THE NATION'S INTEREST BUT MERELY THEIR GREED!!! <BR/><BR/>About you asking, "why are we so stupid", please leave me out of from that "we" claim.<BR/><BR/>On your argument of dumping a losing concern, you can do better than that. I am lazy to regurgutate the same ole shit. Scan my blog in 2007. I've written a lot on Air Asia. You should read a comment by Aerospace Analyst in C-Bok's blog <A HREF="http://c-bok.blogspot.com/2009/01/saya-sokong-klia-east-labu.html" REL="nofollow">here</A>. It would shred your arguments to pieces. The commentator was defending my position.<BR/><BR/>Don't you guys have a justified argument than overselling the over rated auta Airasia? Its going down man. Its aircraft is due for a major C check. It can't raised money to pay for the A3230 and not nak buat RM1.3 billion airport with an exchange of 3,000 acre land. <BR/><BR/>If only you know, you wouldn't have riden Airasia. Imagine, 3 casualities in KK in 2007 alone. Its just better than ole China's CAAC. <BR/><BR/><B>I have seen many Pan-Els, Grand United, Emporium Holdings and now Airasia. It is definately another corporate con job and waiting to go under.</B> <BR/><BR/>It is riding on a hollow PE pyramid and waiting time to crumble. It is not if it will crumble but a matter of time. The airport is a just to delay.<BR/><BR/>As businessman, you shd remember every entry must have an exit. Don't be the one to carry the baby. Remember I said it on 11/1/2009. Do not wait till I tell you so later.A Voicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01780035743502972342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19741162.post-50577035334851893272009-01-10T11:47:00.000+08:002009-01-10T11:47:00.000+08:00Hi Voicey,Let me just point out the last partHow c...Hi Voicey,<BR/><BR/>Let me just point out the last part<BR/><I>How could a private entity be given priority over a national airline with Government invesdtment and it serve some national agenda and NEP?</I><BR/><BR/>The only entity worth saving is Air Asia.

So on a return on investment basis , the MAS investment is dead negative!<BR/><BR/>Why is it that we are so stupid.

Tapi ni sebaliknya, save stupid companies, and dilute your stake in a smart company.<BR/><BR/>Think like a businessman, not like an agenda man!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19741162.post-6575778507896095092009-01-09T17:38:00.000+08:002009-01-09T17:38:00.000+08:00Zachary,Agree we will look stupid to foreigners.

KL have 3 - Putra, Monorail and STAR.<BR/><BR/>Well Putra & STAR is now under govt aka Rapid KL. <BR/><BR/>Time will be that Air Asia will be under the govt and so will KLIA east.<BR/><BR/>-boleh beLAH-Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19741162.post-59962789346853223042009-01-09T11:51:00.000+08:002009-01-09T11:51:00.000+08:001. I have to agree that we do not need a new LCCT ...1. I have to agree that we do not need a new LCCT in Labu.<BR/><BR/>2. The current KLIA is underutlised. If AirAsia said it reaches its max capacity, then get Air Asia X to use KLIA, anyway they are international flights<BR/><BR/>3. Why on earth we need two separated airports? It looks stupid on the eyes of foreigners.<BR/><BR/>4. It is a private initiative and funded project. It will benefit Sime Darby,Air Asia and many more in the line. It is a mega project. If it failed, then government needs to step in to bail as they are public company and who owns them? EPF, PNB, Khazanah and etc.<BR/><BR/>5. A lot can be done with current LCCT and KLIA. We can save RM1.6 billion by concentrating on improvement of existing airports.<BR/><BR/>6. Bottom line, the proposal is only benefits few parties and not public in general. Why Tony and the gang are pushing hard for this? He wanted to show to MAS that he is the no. 1. But he forgot how much government has helped him in the policy, licensing and etc. But now AirAsia starts to realise about their financial constraints, more losses on the way. MAS has done it and they know the real problem. We shall wait and see what Tony will do for this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19741162.post-72332133269654759402009-01-09T10:43:00.000+08:002009-01-09T10:43:00.000+08:00Din Punggok If poor service is the issue, do you s...Din Punggok <BR/><BR/>If poor service is the issue, do you spend RM1.6 billion?<BR/><BR/>Ahlang <BR/><BR/>Buklan duit kerajaan tetapi kalau fail, kerajaan kena bail. <BR/><BR/>Duit bukan duit Sime Darby atau Airasia, tapi duit Bank, duit EPF (anda punya) dll.<BR/><BR/>Mr Padedoh<BR/><BR/>Will read yr article when free. <BR/><BR/>That article was written by someone in the aviation industry and not me. They have locus standi.<BR/><BR/>Tony is no good guy, He is as snaky as any corporate man. <BR/><BR/>Perhaps you care to explore abt how the arline rationalisation plan was hijacked and change right under idiot PM Tidor's eyes. <BR/><BR/>The whole plan was changed over the weekend after the plan was endorsed by cabinet and when it was announced, a different one was considered. <BR/><BR/>Speak to any Cabinet member. AS long it is not Chan Kong Choy or MCA crony.<BR/><BR/>How could a private entity be given priority over a national airline with Government invesdtment and it serve some national agenda and NEP?<BR/><BR/>Khairy's and Zaki Zahid's hand is lined with the "murder" and livelihood of MAS staff. This has been written in the blog long ago. Play by play on how it happen just to perpetaute Air Asia. <BR/><BR/>Air Asia is in a financial mess and like Scomi will go under. It is just riding the PE Pyramid. (Big but hollow an empty inside. Can put corpses). <BR/><BR/>I guess if you don't know, you don't know. Caveat emptor. So don't put up a rebuttal asking proof and all that shit, I won't allow publication of cheap rhetorics.A Voicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01780035743502972342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19741162.post-19089585312902078632009-01-08T11:14:00.000+08:002009-01-08T11:14:00.000+08:00Salam tuan,Who are to be blamed?

Both run by mediocore GLCs (the former run by MAB and the later run by UDA). When Sime announced they are building new LCCT terminal, only then MAB was rudely awaken from their slumber. Quickly they came out with CAPEX to built rival terminal. Aku dok dengar MAB nak buat replacement LCCT terminal dari tahun 2005 lagi....tapi tak bergerak pun.<BR/><BR/>Din Punggok<BR/>Tanah LiatAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
