This is incorrect, both AirAsia and Jet* now provides 'through connections' when booked on the same PNR. There are strict conditions, and this is not applicable to all routings - but is an important part of the present strategy to feed to regional asian destinations following longhaul - eg AKL-SIN-XXX on J* and CHC-KUL-XXX on Air Asia.
