Kenanga Research aviation analyst Raymond Choo Ping Khoon said the current situation had taken a heavy toll on airlines operators, in particularly AirAsia which had hibernated flights across its operating countries in Asean.

AirAsia Indonesia is expected to see a sharp reduction in frequency in its international flights.
