AirAsia removes fuel surcharge, offers free seats
If it still in business? No idea how financially stable it is.
http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5g...rCxBgD94CHAVO1 Snip: KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — Malaysia's AirAsia on Tuesday abolished fuel surcharges on all its flights and said it will give away half a million free tickets next year in an attempt to lure travelers amid the global slowdown. AirAsia Chief Executive Tony Fernandes said the region's biggest budget carrier will offer 500,000 free seats for travel between June 22 and Oct. 24, 2009, on all its domestic and international destinations. "It will be completely free. Passengers will only have to pay airport tax," Fernandes told a news conference. He said the recent steep drop in fuel prices has allowed AirAsia to adopt the bold strategy, adding that the loss of revenue should be offset by higher ticket sales, which will also be bolstered by new marketing strategies. |
