KUALA LUMPUR – AirAsia X, the long-haul low-cost affiliate of AirAsia Bhd. (5099.KU), said Monday it would suspend its services to Christchurch, New Zealand to focus on its core markets.
The four flights a week between Kuala Lumpur and Christchurch will be suspended in late May, with the last flights scheduled for May 30 from Kuala Lumpur and May 31 from Christchurch, AirAsia X said in a statement. The move follows its suspension of European and some Indian routes early this year to concentrate capacity in core markets including Australia,
Chinaand Japan.
Although the Kuala Lumpur-Christchurch route has recorded "close to 80% loads" in 2011, it has been affected by the spiraling cost of jet fuel, the firm said. "Since the launch of the route, jet fuel prices have increased in excess of 30%, and are currently still at very high levels," said AirAsia X Chief Executive Officer Azran Osman-Rani.
