Indonesia AirAsia X to cease scheduled operations in January

Indonesia AirAsia X will cease scheduled operations in January 2019 and operate as a non-scheduled commercial airline thereafter. The carrier’s only scheduled operation - a seven-times weekly service between Denpasar and Tokyo Narita using an A330 - will be suspended in January, the AirAsia X Group disclosed in its Q3 results. “With the challenging operational environment in Indonesia, primarily due to the series of natural disasters that occurred in proximity to Bali, the company is underway to evaluate the available options for our Indonesian associate to ensure sustainability of the company with the last schedule flight from Bali to Narita will end in January 2019,” said AirAsia X group CEO Nadda Buranasiri. “Moving forward, AirAsia X Indonesia will operate on a non-scheduled commercial airline basis.”<br/>
