PT. Indonesia AirAsia Extra (operated as Indonesia AirAsia X[1]) was a joint venture of Malaysian long haul low-fare airline AirAsia X and Indonesia AirAsia. The airline ceased all operations on 14 January 2019.[2]
Indonesia AirAsia X is the medium and long-haul operation of the brand Indonesia AirAsia. The franchise keeps costs down by using a common ticketing system, aircraft livery, employee uniforms, and management style. It served two scheduled long haul international flights from Bali's I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport to Mumbai and Tokyo until they were both ceased. It also served short haul flights using an Airbus A320-200 from Jakarta, Denpasar and Surabaya, replacing some of Indonesia AirAsia's flights.
Indonesia AirAsia X planned to launch its first destination to Melbourne on 26 December 2014,[3] but had not achieved authorisation from both the Australian or Indonesian governments to fly the route.[4] [5] This led to huge disruption to passengers during the peak holiday season, with many flights delayed or cancelled outright.[6] In January 2015, Taipei was announced as the airline's first route from Bali. The inaugural flight was commenced on 19 January 2015, but ended flights in September 2015.[7]
In late November 2018, the airline announced that it would be ceasing scheduled operations beginning in January 2019. The carrier was still to remain in operation, but would operate as a non-scheduled commercial airline going forward. The airline operated its last scheduled flight to Tokyo on 14 January 2019.[2] Indonesia AirAsia X later ceased all operations on October 17, 2020, and was liquidated as part of the restructuring of AirAsia along with AirAsia Japan which also ceased the same over similar reason.[8]
During its five-year existence, Indonesia AirAsia X flew to the following destinations:[2] [9]
The Indonesia AirAsia X fleet comprised two Airbus A330-300s. In addition, Indonesia AirAsia X had also operated 5 Airbus A320-200s to fulfil the Indonesian government regulation for a new airline to operate at least 10 aircraft within its first year of operation.[10] The aircraft were transferred back to Indonesia AirAsia in October 2018.[11]
(shortly before closure), Indonesia AirAsia X operated the following aircraft:[12] [13]
