Comment on Australian Court fined AirAsia A$200,000 for misleading advertisements by Headhunter

The information from your Travel Agent is accurate. Apparently during the CCF, TF got MAS to write a letter to the Ministry of Transport telling them MAS no longer require the extra landing rights in Sydney and they have no objection if it is given to Air Asia.

The situation now is that MAS can operate the A380 to Sydney but they are restricted to carry B747-400 passenger load only. With the A380 carrying an extra 140 seats it makes no economic sense to land in Sydney. It is annoying alot of Sydney bound passengers as they were expecting to travel on the A380, especially the First and Business Class pax, when they paid premium fare.

Ho! Ho! Ho! Christmas and New Year came much much too early for AAX and hopefully AA too. What a big Ang Pow! A$200K (RM640,000) ang pow is definitely a big ang pow. It is also equivalent to a Big Sale for X,MAS. Lets hope that more foreign authorities will give AAX ang pow for the coming New Year.

Are you the Botak masquerading as someone else? We are not as stupid as you think. Joseph was spot on.

You were singing away like Azran Omar Rani (the CEO of AAX). What do you expect from Azran Omar to say when AAX was fined for A$200,000 due to its misleading ads in Australia. It was just a damage control exercise in futility. No Malaysians will believe in what he said because he is the CEO of AAX. Azran was trying to give an impression that he was quoting from the Judgement of the Federal Court and at the same time he couldn’t produce the Judgement in his press conference. At least give us the link to where we can read the Judgement in full.

God is always great. I remember a posting of YB re the spinning by TF. To borrow the words of TF’s tweet: “… The good will eventually win” . This was how he began after the High Court in London adjourned the Lotus. He tweeted to give the impression that he won the case.

in the Australian case, GOD is always great to the good and honest people every where. good will eventually win. So the ultimate consumers have won and the unethical advertiser, AAX, has been exposed and punished with a fine A$200,00-00. As a fellow reader has rightly put it: Christmas came a bit early for TF and his outfits. Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry X’mas to all Malaysians.

Read what part? The part of the press statement issued by Azran of AAX. That were said by Azran and you were repeating it like a parrot. You are taking Azran’s words as gospel truth. Show us where is the reference to the original Judgement of Judge Tracey. No one going to accept the explanations from an interested party with known behavior of twisting the situation and a party to the misleading advertisements in question.

You want us to believe that AAX are angels and the victims of unfair decision of the Australian Court,. Why then AAX lawyer willingly gave the undertaking to the court that AAX for 3 years that it will not repeat with misleading advertisement?

The fact was that AAX has been fined A$200,000 for publishing misleading ads that were against the public interest. FREE, FREE, FREE, FREE. EVERYTHING FREE but pay the hidden charges.

How about AOC valid until 31 March 2013 and AA selling tickets until 31 December 2013. Isn’t this misleading? Isn’t this unethical?

Selling something now that may not exist after 31 March 2013 is very misleading and unscrupulous. Such tactics must be wiped out from Malaysian market and every where else.

Please try harder again but we will never believe in cybertrooper!

If had to pay for other charges then it is not FREE. Why the AA ads stated FREE? Just to mislead. Why the AAX promoting sale until May 31, November 31 and December 31, 2013 when its AOC valid until march 31, 2013? Just to mislead. If AOC not granted after March 31, 2013 what will happen to those holders of ticket? can ask for refund! Refund in AA style that the rakyat had to go through tremendous inconveniences and wait for months for the refund. Come on! stop fooling us. A fantastic news from Australian Court! Pandan muka to the big mouth and arrogant snake. Ka! Ka! Ka! Please try harder next time and none will believe the pariah’s cybertrooper.

The Ministry of Trade, Co-operatives and Consumerism must seriously monitor all adverts by companies especially AirAsia and AirAsia X which were known to put up MISLEADING ads in their preferred Star. Now of course, the Star got TF as a director which is a minus point. AA/AAX have been successful to fool Malaysians with ads with ZERO FARE, FREE SEAT, from 11 Sen and so forth but AAX got caught with its pants down in Australia. Fine of A$200,000 was too low for unscrupulous AAX. Lets the foreign authorities teach them a good lesson. We must lodge complaints to all the authorities where they fly to with regards to the misleading ads and not meeting safety regulations in Malaysia. Once the foreign authority acted against them, kurt Ministry of Trade had no choice built to also take actions. Now Everyone Can Laugh out Out!

** I guess many people don’t read this part :

The salient terms of the judgment are as follows: * AirAsia was charged under s48(1) of the Australian Consumer Law of not specifying in a prominent way a single figure the price of its air fares even with inclusion of words “Fares shown EXCLUDE fees and taxes”

* The conduct although inadvertent was strictly and technically in contravention

* The ACCC sought a fine of between A$520,000 and A$650,000

* The Court came to finding that the appropriate fine was only A$200,000.

The findings of the Court were that a fine of A$200,000 was sufficient because:

a) There was no intention to mislead the consumer

– The conduct in question was inadvertent not deliberate or reckless

– A consumer has to undergo 9 steps in making an online booking. Only on page 2 of the booking process would the customer see the statement “Fares shown EXCLUDE fees and taxes”

– The Court noted that pages 3 to 9 the single total price was displayed sometimes in more than one place, thus the consumer would have become aware of the full price to be paid before committing to a purchase

– The Court found that there this was only a single breach and not multiple breaches

b) The contravention did not cause loss or damage to consumer — A consumer could not complete the booking process without being informed of the actual total price for each flight

– The Court noted there was no evidence of any consumer dissatisfaction or that any customer of AirAsia has suffered any economic loss.

I still honestly did not get the idea which part of the advertisements is incorrect ? Do people really expected the whole seats in a flight to be free ? Public toilets also need to pay what ? In any case the AOC if for the Malaysia AirAsia only I think and does not affect operations for others.

It depends one one needs. I have booked almost 20 flights with them all on 0 fare. If I cannot get the fare I never buy. However since the reintroducing the fuel surcharge I never bought any more though. There are cheap and there are expensive as all budget carriers (not just AA) have multi tiered fares. It depends on how fast you book the tickets. Legacy airlines on the other hand sells expensive full fare tickets first and reduce by discounts nearer the dates to sell more seats. There’s no cheating in AA from what my experience. I know what I buy and what I’ve paid. You buy AA tickets 2 weeks before the flights of course you’ll find MH flights especially not popular route to be more cheaper. Not when you buy one year in advance.
