Air Asia Drops Kota Kinabalu

Amidst Intense Competition

December 8, 2012

Clark - Malaysia-based airline subsidiary AirAsia Philippines(AGP) announced Friday that it will drop flights to Kota Kinabalu because of poor sales from its hub at Clark airport. 

It is the second international route abandoned by AGP less than a year after the airline opened in March. it earlier left Macau due to intense competitions offered by Tiger Subsidiary Seair and Cebu Pacific.

Citing "commercial reasons," the local unit of Malaysia-based Air Asia Berhad said it would ditch its flights effective February next year.
