Tony Fernandes quashes news on AirAsia Japan suspending flights

Airasia Group chief executive officer Tan Sri Tony Fernandes has quashed news that AirAsia Japan is to suspend all flights for most of October.

"I don't know where this came out from but obviously, (we do) re-value and evaluate all our operations at any one moment.

"We will have to wait and see, but there is nothing planned at the moment (suspensions)...it’s a rumour," he told reporters after the launching of RedRecords' first official single, Passcode by Jannine Weigel, today.

Yesterday, Nikkei Asian Review reported that AirAsia Japan will be suspending all flights from Oct. 1 to Oct. 24 due to less-than-expected demand caused by COVID-19 and the company's spokesperson said it is still considering resumption of operations after October 24.
