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]

History[]

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 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 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 IAAX'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 X along with AirAsia Japan which also ceased the same over similar reason on the group.[8]
