Airline Accident Fatalities Higher Than 2019 With Less Flights
Despite the sharp reduction in flying during 2020 because of travel restrictions related to the Covid-19 pandemic, fatal losses for the last 12 months were just as high as in some recent years. Globally there were 12 fatal airline accidents in 2020, resulting in the deaths of 332 passengers and crew. This compares with 22 fatal accidents and 297 fatalities in 2019 when commercial airline activity was at a normal level – which means four or five times the number of flights that took place in 2020. The previous safest year for flying was in 2015 when there were nine fatal accidents and 176 fatalities. Among the four jet fatal accidents, three were the result of poorly planned and badly executed approaches in serviceable aircraft in conditions that should not have been a problem for the crews. These involved a Pegasus Airlines Boeing 737-800 at Istanbul in February, a Pakistan International Airlines Airbus A320 at Karachi in May, and an Air India Express Boeing 737-800 at Kozhikode in August. There were 121 passengers and crew fatalities in these accidents. But there is another unusual factor that sets 2020 apart: accidental shootdowns – in the plural. The worst accident of 2020 involved the shootdown of a Ukraine International Airlines Boeing 737-800 in January. The aircraft was climbing out of Tehran on a scheduled service to Kiev, when it was misidentified as hostile by the Iranian military, who fired two missiles at it, killing all 176 people on board. Another casualty of misidentification was an African Express Airways Embraer Brasilia operating a medical relief charter flight into Baardale, Somalia. It was shot down, ironically, by a peacekeeping unit. In both cases, effective communication between air traffic control and the military could have prevented fatal mistakes. The politically unstable conditions in which both events took place are likely to continue, and not only in the Middle East and Africa. Since shootdowns, accidental or not, are killers, airlines need to approach the decision whether to continue operating to or through, a conflict zone as if it were a traditional safety threat. On Saturday in Indonesia, a Boeing 737-500 with 62 passengers and crew was heading to Pontianak in West Kalimantan disappeared from radar screens four minutes after take-off. It is the first major air crash in Indonesia since 189 passengers and crew were killed in 2018 when a Lion Air Boeing 737 Max also plunged into the Java Sea soon after take-off from Soekarno-Hatta international airport. On a positive note, QANTAS Airways has been named the safest airline this year by AirlineRatings.com. The review website monitors almost 400 airlines, and in selecting QF as its safest airline for 2021, noted the Australian flag-carrier as the industry’s most experienced airline.
AirAsia plunges into thriving Malaysian dive destination
Following the news in September that AirAsia is boosting the coverage of their Malaysia product with a new service between Kuala Lumpur and Kuantan, in Pahang, the airline has now announced another Malaysian connection with the launch of four-weekly flights from Kuching to Tawau starting 2 December 2018. AirAsia is currently the only airline in Malaysia to offer direct flights between the state capital city of Sarawak and Tawau, the third largest city in Sabah. “Tawau is gaining popularity as a gateway to the world’s best dive sites” Riad Asmat, AirAsia’s CEO in Malaysia, said: “We are excited to launch a new route from our ever-expanding Kuching hub. Our Kuching - Tawau route is a testament to our commitment to further boost the connectivity in East Malaysia and to expand economic opportunities in both cities. While Kuching is no stranger to tourists, Tawau is gaining popularity as a gateway to the world’s best dive sites, especially among Chinese tourists. 90% of our Fly-Thru routes to Tawau are from cities in China and 76% of our guests visiting Tawau come from China. We believe we can further leverage on this direct route to attract more visitors to both Kuching and Tawau.” Flight schedule AirAsia Malaysia (flight code AK) now flies to 13 destinations from Kuching, namely Kuala Lumpur, Kota Kinabalu, Kota Bharu, Johor Bahru, Bintulu, Langkawi, Penang, Sibu, Tawau, Miri, Shenzhen, Pontianak and Singapore. The airline also flies to four destinations from Tawau to Kuala Lumpur, Kota Kinabalu, Johor Bahru and Kuching.

The promotional fare is available for booking on airasia.com and the AirAsia mobile app from now until 14 October 2018 for travel between 2 December 2018 and 26 November. On top of the new Malaysian expansion, AirAsia has also beefed up another Asian product with two direct new services between Thailand and India with a Bangkok-Visakhapatnam, running four times a week, departing from Don Mueang Airport every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, as of 7 December.

AirAsia partners with Sarawak Tourism Board to support cornerstone music festivals
AirAsia is partnering with the Sarawak Tourism Board (STB) for the upcoming Borneo Jazz Festival to be held in Miri on 11-13 May and the Rainforest World Music Festival (RWMF) taking place in Kuching on 13-15 July 2018. Reaching out to 23 countries, AirAsia will not only promote the festivals but the diverse cultural identities, unique traditions and the eco-tourism attribute in Sarawak. Spencer Lee, head of commercial, AirAsia Malaysia, said: “We are pleased to partner with Sarawak Tourism Board as one of the airline partners for both internationally-acclaimed festivals while further strengthening our commitment in East Malaysia. “Last year, we flew about 4.3 million guests to Sarawak, and we hope this partnership will encourage more visitors to the beautiful state - adding on to the thousands of visitors to the two cities for the festivals and contribute to the 5.25 million target visitor arrivals in Sarawak for 2018.” To celebrate the partnership, AirAsia is offering all-in-fares from RM79, one-way from Kuala Lumpur to Miri, and from RM129, one way fly-through from Penang, Melbourne, Hong Kong, and others to Miri. These flights are available on airasia.com and its mobile app until 30 April 2018 for immediate travel period until 30 September 2018. "Flights to and throughout Sarawak have bolstered our tourism industry greatly" Mary Wan Mering, the acting CEO of Sarawak Tourism Board said: ”The Sarawak Tourism Board is excited to partner with AirAsia, whose many flights to and throughout Sarawak have bolstered our tourism industry greatly, making it easier for tourists to be able to traverse the length of Sarawak at ease, moving from one grand attraction to another. According to AirAsia, Sarawak welcomed 4.43 million arrivals last year, 421,513 of which arrived in the month of the Borneo Jazz Festival and 406,359 during the Rainforest World Music Festival. AirAsia is now flying to five destinations from Miri with a total of 86 weekly flights one way to Kuala Lumpur, Kota Kinabalu, Johor Bahru, Kuching and Singapore. It also flies to 12 destinations from Kuching with a total of 257 weekly flights one-way to Shenzhen, Singapore, Pontianak, Miri, Sibu, Bintulu, Kota Kinabalu, Johor Bahru, Kota Bharu, Penang, Kuala Lumpur and Langkawi.

Opening the skies with AirAsia Group’s Spencer Lee
Spencer Lee, head of commercial for AirAsia Malaysia, looks quiet and unassuming. But if you talk about travel, the transport industry veteran can hardly contain his excitement. In the week he announced that the airline is set to fly to Hua Hin starting May 18, we sat down with him to discuss how marketing and technology tie into the AirAsia Group’s core principle of “opening the skies and making sure everyone can fly,” as he puts it. We have seen the new 'Road Less Travelled' ad. What's the story behind it, and how are you trickling that down to both consumers and to frontline members of the entire AirAsia Group? No matter your purpose of travel, the beauty of travelling in itself lies in sharing our differences in language, religion and culture. The more you explore, the more you understand that these do not set us apart. Rather, you see them all collectively as diversity and embrace it to learn more from and better understand each other. https://youtu.be/Y8RxeaAR2mI Through this campaign, we hope to inspire Malaysians to never stop exploring, and also to look past the usual attractions and go off the beaten track. Who knows what awaits you in Kunming, Shantou and Shenzhen in China, or Visakhapatnam in India? Our vision is to continue connecting people and we are constantly looking into growing not only our Kuala Lumpur hub but secondary hubs like Langkawi, Johor Bahru and Kuching. It is all about strengthening our connectivity and expanding our network in our core markets – ASEAN, China and India. We take pride in introducing unique routes that many airlines do not fly to and we want to encourage travellers to explore these hidden gems. Over 50% of our routes are served only by AirAsia. Some of these destinations include Bhubaneswar in India, Luang Prabang in Laos, Sihanoukville in Cambodia, Davao in the Philippines, and Pontianak in Indonesia. Bhubaneswar, India Internally, we always encourage our Allstars – the AirAsia employees – to utilise their travel benefits and go beyond the popular travel bucket lists. Using our internal platform, Workplace by Facebook, Allstars can easily share travel tips and experiences with each other from any destination. The more you explore, the more you understand that these differences – in language, religion and culture – do not set us apart. We have received your financial year operating statistics for 2017. What would you count as your biggest win for last year - outside of any awards? I would say our constant growth as a group speaks for itself. We saw a 16% increase in passengers carried, having flown over 65 million passengers in 2017. In total, we have flown over 400 million passengers since our inception. Furthermore, our capacity grew 13% while our load factor marked a 2% increase. Our fleet size is also looking strong with over 200 planes as of end 2017. What this means is we are opening up the skies so millions of travellers around the world can fly. And how do you win World's Best LCC at the Skytrax World Airline Awards for 9 years running? At the end of the day, I believe it all boils down to the three things we do well – low fares, wide network, and an award-winning service. As world champion for the ninth year in a row recognised by Skytrax, our commitment remains to open the skies and ensure that everyone can truly fly. We do this by flying to metro cities and unique routes that many have yet to discover. This means allowing guests to fly not only from booming capitals but from secondary cities as well– going back to what we set out to do to ensure flying is no longer a luxury that few could enjoy. AirAsia's Skytrax victory in 2017 We also offer an extensive network of over 130 destinations across 26 countries which are accessible with low fares but coupled with a world-class experience. What are your thoughts on the top innovation buzzwords: Machine Learning, Internet of Things and Augmented Reality? Is AirAsia using or planning to make use of these? Digital is the way forward and we are transforming ourselves to become a global digital company. Innovation is a core aspect of our operations and we are looking into Machine Learning to help sort our ancillary items on the website and suggest recommendations for users. The Internet of Things is also an area we are exploring to capture data from the sensors of our planes. Having said that, the most valuable asset of our company is still our people, our Allstars. We will continue to invest in digital talent to create meaningful impact and get the most out of the data. What are your other plans for expansion? After growing our airline business over the past 16 years, our next phase will be on growing as a digital technology company focused on data analytics, financial services, technology and digital content. Part of our innovations include the following services: AirAsiaGo – platform that allows travellers to book both flights and hotels together BIG Loyalty – loyalty programme with member-exclusive privileges such as 24-hour priority booking for sales BIGPay – cashless ecosystem featuring a mobile money app and card that saves users money when they spend abroad ROKKI – in-flight Wi-Fi and free entertainment service; AirAsia BIG members can enjoy exclusive free Internet for their messaging apps ROKKIshop.com – online travel retail portal where passengers can book duty-free and duty paid products along with AirAsia merchandise Travel360.com – interactive online magazine with travel content and deals Vidi – online reservations platform for local tours, theme parks, attractions and more RedTix – platform to discover, discuss, review and book tickets to international concerts, sporting events, musicals and more RedBox – low-cost express courier and parcel delivery service. One of our key efforts is to leverage on big data to provide a more personalised customer experience for the digital travellers of today. Our guests now are tech-savvy, well-researched and have different expectations when it comes to travelling. We need to learn more about them and understand their rising expectations in order to truly enhance our service levels. We also plan to tap into multiple populations and demographics across the region with our core base in ASEAN. We want to offer our guests an intuitive, wholesome and complete consumer journey at any point in their travels.
Indonesia’s Archipelago set for multi-brand expansion
Archipelago International, the Indonesian hotel group, has unveiled plans to open at least 12 more hotels across the country in 2017, as part of a multi-brand expansion plan. The company will launch new properties under five of its brands this year, ranging from the “select service” Favehotel and Hotel Neo concepts to the residential-style Harper Hotels, upscale Aston and luxury Alana brands. The new openings will also stretch all across the Indonesian archipelago, from the Batam in the west to Papua in the east, adding almost 1,900 rooms to the country’s supply. "Our team continues to do a phenomenal job at both launching hotels at record breaking pace and ensuring their success year after year," said Tenaiya Brookfield, Archipelago's vice president of sales & marketing. "The hotels opening domestically this year are both strategically located and much needed. They will create hundreds of job opportunities as well as best in class accommodations for both business and leisure travellers in the area." Specifically, the 12 new openings expected in 2017 will include the 75-room Favehotel Sorong Papua Barat in West Papua, 105-room Hotel Neo Gajah Mada in Pontianak, West Kalimantan, 102-room Hotel Neo Kebayoran in Jakarta, 164-room Favehotel Bandara in Tangerang, close to Jakarta's Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, 105-room Favehotel Tuban and 247-room Favehotel Madiun, both in East Java, 155-room Favehotel Tasikmalaya in West Java, and 131-room Harper Cikarang, on the outskirts of Jakarta.
