The airline claimed that airasia Super App had acted in an “unauthorised manner” by selling the airline’s and Super Air Jet’s flights on the app, The Edge reported.
“We wish to notify the public that Batik Air Malaysia, and all the airlines within the Lion Air Group, namely Lion Air, Batik Air Indonesia and Wing’s Air, and Super Air Jet have not given any consent for airasia Super App to include their services in the airasia Super App,” it was quoted as saying.

Earlier today, Malaysia Aviation Group Bhd managing director Izham Ismail said it had filed an injunction to stop the low-cost carrier from selling Malaysia Airlines tickets on the app.

Izham said the group had not been able to reach a commercial agreement before this, yet the airasia Super App “continued to sell our inventory”.
The app came under the spotlight after transport minister Loke Siew Fook ridiculed his predecessor, Wee Ka Siong, for using it to check the prices of Malaysia Airlines flights from Kuala Lumpur to Tawau, Sabah.
Loke said the MCA president should have used the Malaysia Airlines mobile app or website to check on its ticket prices rather than a third-party app.
The pair were engaged in a back-and-forth yesterday over the high airfares for domestic flights after Wee claimed that a Malaysia Airlines economy class return ticket from Kuala Lumpur to Tawau on April 20 would cost RM3,138. - FMT
