亚航下月26日起中止古晋直飞澳门 给旅行社两种选择弥补
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (古晋19日讯)亚洲航空证实将从下月26日起中止古晋直飞澳门航班,并给予本州旅行社可透过吉隆坡飞往澳门,或是亚庇飞深圳的航线选择作为弥补。 大马旅游同业协会砂拉越分会已于昨日接获亚洲航空吉隆坡高层的通知函件,正式通过作为本州旅行社旗舰组织的该会,宣布古晋直透澳门班机将从10月26日开始暂时停飞,而本报于本月13日针对此航班将被中止的独家报导也获得证实。 亚航古晋直飞澳门的航班将被中止之消息传开,事先未获通知的旅行社业者措手不及,业者及已订购机票的公众人士前往本地的亚航办公室要求查证不果,得到的答案是高层没有作正式公布,导致面对诸多不便而不满。 大马旅游同业协会砂拉越分会主席赖永仁今天接受本报记者访问时透露,他已收到亚航高层针对将于今年10月26日起中止古晋直飞澳门航班服务所传真的通函,并将依据此消息尽快的通报给所有注册为该会会员的旅行社。 迄今,在该会注册为会员的旅行社约有160多间。 他表示,随着这项决定之后,对于已由旅行社代办预订10月26日之后古晋直飞澳门机票的情况,亚航是给予旅行社2个替代选择,即是可从吉隆坡飞澳门,或是从亚庇飞深圳。至于个人旅客,相信是未能享有这项替代航班的优惠。 不过,他说,从本地例如古晋往返吉隆坡或沙巴亚庇的机票,则是各自承担,亚航方面是答应给予受影响者较廉价的机票。 亚航乃是基于该条航线未有达到该公司营运利润需求,于难以维持之情势下,决定暂时中止该航班服务。亚航的古晋飞澳门航班于10月25日将是最后一趟,之后将暂时停飞。 这意味着亚航于2007年11月15日正式启航的古晋直透澳门航线,于未有一周年经营的时间内,即告将被“腰斩”。而根据了解,从柔佛新山和沙巴亚庇直飞澳门的亚航航班,也将被中止。 赖永仁深表遗憾,亚航古晋直透澳门航班的将被临时抽起的决定,无疑是让人感到失望,然而航空公司是基于在商言商的立场,在考究到某个航线无法赚钱下而停飞,这也是无可奈何之举。 影响旅行社 制定澳门航线旅游配套 他称,本地的私人界尤其是旅行社方面,已配合澳门航线制定了旅游配套,在促销和招揽旅客的工作上是做了很多,甚至有些往返澳门的旅行团行程已排到明年去了。 亚航古晋直飞澳门开始时是提供每周3趟班机服务,而后即增加至每日一趟。他说,该条航线原是逐渐朝向良好的发展轨道,岂料从启航快要一年之际,就要被中止掉,是让业者感到很突然的。 他表示,古晋直飞澳门的航班将被取消,对旅行社业者是首当其冲,尤其是已在澳门或中国内地缴付了酒店住宿的定金,以及其他事项,还有在取消或更改订购飞机票乘搭航班等方面的麻烦手续。 此外,对于准备抢先在今年11月中旬学校假期旅游旺季期间推出旅游团的旅行社,更深受影响和损失,无法一如既往的为旅客办理通过古晋直飞澳门,再入境中国内地的行程。 另一方面,自行上网订购机票拟飞往澳门和中国旅游的旅客,也会面对办理入境中国之签证的麻烦,他指出,例如个人在飞往深圳,再进入澳门,而后若要再从澳门入境中国,就得使用2次签证,1次的签证是不够的。 他说,除非旅客是从澳门飞到香港即可办理签证,当这个过程就显得麻烦多了。 他也欢迎面对有关问题的旅客,可查询旅行社以代办及处理签证问题,实际上,旅客只需缴付给旅行社少许的服务费,即可解决问题了。 随着古晋直透澳门班机服务即将中止,这也是亚航甫于今年8月25日中止古晋直飞巴厘岛航线之后,最近又将面对被停飞命运的另一航线。迄今,亚航的古晋直飞航班,只剩下分别飞印尼雅加达以及槟城。

According to the contents that said they cannot sustain the unprofitable route.....those purchase the ticket from travel agencies can reroute via kl or kk.
Heard that KK and JB also will face the same fact!

Remember, people go to Macau, people don't come from Macau. Macau attracts people with their casinos, it isn't really a major international transit point for travellers. The novelty of gambling has slowly waned, and the current economic conditions aren't helping leisure travel at all either.
And JB/KK-Macau facing the axe as well? Easy come, easy go.

AirAsia will compensate passengers who have purchased the KCH-MFM flight by giving them two options, which is to fly from KL or KK to Shenzhen. However passengers will have to bear the KCH-KUL or KCH-KK air ticket themselves, which I think is something really wrong.
AirAsia is very irresponsible in this case. Expect the KCH-Jakarta route to be axed as well. Very soon Kuching will be an isolated town.

I received AK's newsletter that they wished to hire marketing staffs, manager, executives, etc. My sis is a marketing manager of MJC. I was hoping her could switch to AK and promote Kuching's hub and routes.
