This appears to be the Indonesian branch of the business of which I've flown to Bali with from Perth, however they are all branded under the same banner. Bit early to know full details yet but it appears the jet took a different route just before it lost contact which could be caused by a range of things. Hoping for the best.
I fly with Air Asia quite often. To the best of my knowledge they have no affiliation with Malaysia Airlines whatsoever.
Not good news though, have heard they found parts of the wreckage and also a heap of bodies have been recovered.
They have an exemplary safety record and im booked to travel on half a dozen of their flights in May, definately wont be cancelling.
One thing that amazes me is that with the modern technology we should be able to track these planes right to the end. Planes just shouldnt disappear off a radar
