AirAsia X said in November it would re-route its Auckland service to Kuala Lumpur via Sydney to a stop in the Gold Coast. But now it has ditched New Zealand altogether and is offering refunds for affected passengers. AirAsia X CEO Benyamin Ismail said: “We truly regret having to make this tough decision to temporarily suspend our services to and from Auckland from early February next year. “However, Auckland remains one of our guests’ favourite bucket list destinations and we aim to return again in the future, once market conditions are more favourable and once more aircraft resume operations.’'He said that like other airlines, it was working hard to reactivate more aircraft as soon as possible and will certainly reconsider Auckland services again in the future.
