Editor's Note I hope they do a lot better on their international routes than they have on Indonesian Routes providing very poor service on two flights I took with the average delay of one and onehalf hours.

CHANGING gears to go from domestic to regional, Indonesia AirAsia (IAA) is closing its Jakarta-Medan and Jakarta-Surabaya routes on October 1 to focus on new routes.
IAA spokesman Audrey Progastama Petriny was quoted by Tempo Daily as saying: "This is in line with our business strategy, to change from a domestic to an international player."
IAA is planning to operate from Medan to Malaysian cities such as Kota Kinabalu and Penang, and Hong Kong. Another new route is from Surabaya to Kuala Lumpur.
The airline, however, has not announced when the new regional routes will start.
Jakarta-Medan and Jakarta-Surabaya are 'fat routes' for the airline with last July's average load factor reaching 89 per cent and 78 per cent respectively.
