Is it preposterous to think a black hole caused this flight to go missing?

I didn't know ryanair operates in Asia as well, but I just flew Ryanair a week ago and my experience with it is p. lovely in comparison with AirAsia (3 years ago).

Bad news guys

http://www.theage.com.au/victoria/holidays-thrown-into-chaos-after-airasia-cancels-direct-bali-flights-20141227-12eac5.html

quote:

Holidaymakers have had travel plans thrown into disarray after budget airline AirAsia X cancelled direct flights from Melbourne to Bali with only days' notice.

The Malaysian budget airline was forced to cancel the flights after it failed to gain approval for the new route, which was due to start on December 26, from Australian and Indonesian aviation authorities.

This is despite the airline advertising and taking bookings for the direct flight as recently as this month.

Passengers received text messages on Christmas Day notifying them that flights from Boxing Day onwards had been cancelled and they would instead be flown to Bali via Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on a later flight.

The new route stretches a six-hour journey out to 13 hours and some travellers will arrive a day later than expected, leaving pre-booked accommodation wasted and forcing some to miss family weddings.

This is an outrage :argh:

quote:

"Thankyou for wrecking our family Christmas and my daughters wedding (sic)," Julie Chumbley wrote.

"My daughter is due to be married on the 28th dec 2014 in bali and my daughter in law is a bridesmade and my son is walking her down the isle.

"This was until you changed my daughter in laws and sons Direct flight from the 27th dec 2014 to leave on the 28th dec with a stop over in kuala lumpa in which they will miss the whole wedding!!"

Another passenger, Melissa Cook, posted: "It's 1.45am, Xmas morning & I've just received a text advising that my direct flight tomorrow morning (26/12) has been cancelled!!!!

"Advertising was fierce for sucking Australian consumers into thinking that you would really be flying Melbourne to Bali direct from 26/12!"

Passengers do not yet know if return flights will go direct to Melbourne or via Kuala Lumpur.

An AirAsia X spokesman said the flights were diverted because of "an unforeseen delay in the approval process for necessary documentation."

Thanks for ruining Christmas :mad:
