"We understand the stress and disruption this situation has caused and hope that this 50 per cent discount will assist affected passengers in making new travel arrangements, making full use of our extensive flight network to all key destinations,” AirAsia Aviation Group Ltd group chief executive officer Bo Lingam said in a statement today.

In a statement earlier, MYAirline announced it had suspended its operations effective today until further notice due to significant financial pressures.

The low-cost airline said it had come to this "extremely painful decision” because of financial pressures that made it necessary to suspend operations pending the shareholder restructuring and recapitalisation of the airline. - Bernama
