An interesting article in the West Australian newspaper today reported several international airlines reducing their flying stock due to the economic downturn. Hundreds of aircraft are being taken out of service and left in an aircraft graveyard in the Nevada desert USA.
Although not named as one of those companies, Asia Air has reported excess of U$1.8 million loss last year. Makes you wonder if that is why so many of their flights are cancelled, most recently from the Gold Coast in Queensland and Perth. Asia Air are currently advertising flights from Perth to Jakarta Au$90. How sustainable are these cheap flights? A bargain is great but not at the risk of spoiling your holiday when the flight is cancelled.
Buyer beware.

Global financial crisis airlines reducing fleets..........
Its seems that capacity is being reduced but...
Straits Times (Singapore) reported Tuesday that AirAsia (Indonesia) is starting new SIN-DPS, SIN-CGK, SIN-Yogya, SIN-Bandung service this month and Tiger is starting SIN-CGK service too. Unbelievably, the article stated AirAsia%26#39;s goal is to increase SIN-DPS frequency to 5 flights/day.
Over the past year, SIN-DPS capacity has greatly expanded, with more flights from SQ, Garuda, Lion, and now AirAsia. Sorry JetStarAsia, your discount monopoly has ended.

Virgin%26#39;s loss for the year was a great deal bigger than Asia Airs. I guess we just have take the risk in times like these.
