  • Preliminary Operating Statistics for the 1​St ​ Quarter 2020
    Preliminary Operating Statistics For the 1​st ​ Quarter 2020 AirAsia Group Berhad (“AirAsia” or “the Group”) is pleased to announce the operating statistics for the First Quarter of the Financial Year 2020 (“1Q2020”). Despite the weak travel demand amid increasing and unprecedented travel restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic, AirAsia reported a healthy group-wide load factor of 80%, which was better than its expected 77%. This was achieved through proactive capacity management, particularly in the months of February and March, with the cuts most notable in AirAsia Malaysia and AirAsia Thailand. The Group Consolidated AO​Cs1 reported a steady load factor of 78%. The number of passengers carried was down 21% year-on-year (“YoY”) to 9.9 million as capacity was reduced by 11%. In 1Q2020, AirAsia Malaysia reduced its capacity by 17% YoY, as business was heavily interrupted in light of the increase in COVID-19 cases in many markets and the imposed Movement Control Order in Malaysia that began on 18 March 2020. AirAsia Malaysia carried 27% less passengers YoY, with a reasonably strong load factor of 77%. AirAsia Indonesia posted a 10% YoY increase in capacity for the quarter even though its available seat kilometres (“ASK”) retracted by 4%, as the company re-deployed excess capacity from international to domestic sectors. Passengers carried decreased by 7% as travel demand in the region started to weaken, while load factor was moderate at 74%. During the quarter, AirAsia Indonesia began flying Jakarta-Medan. AirAsia Philippines flew 1.8 million passengers during the quarter, down 9% in comparison to the same quarter last year.

  • Air Connectivity in Archipelagic Southeast Asia: an Overview
    Air Connectivity in Archipelagic Southeast Asia: An Overview The archipelagic region of Southeast Asia consists of 24,000 islands, spread across 5,200 kilometers (kms) from east to west and 3,400 kms from north to south, with a population of about 350 million. Many of the islands are poor, remote from main centers of economic activity, and not well connected. Improving air connectivity can be instrumental in reducing development gaps. The paper examines the importance of improving air connectivity, and the state of the airline industry and the related infrastructure in the region. Special attention is paid to regional policies relating to air transport, and the paper concludes with policy Southeast Asia recommendations. Working Paper Series About the Asian Development Bank ADB’s vision is an Asia and Pacic region free of poverty. Its mission is to help its developing member countries substantially reduce poverty and improve the quality of life of their people. Despite the region’s many successes, it remains home to two-thirds of the world’s poor: 1.8 billion people who live on less than $2 a day, with 903 million struggling on less than $1.25 a day. ADB is committed to reducing poverty through inclusive economic growth, environmentally sustainable growth, and regional integration. Based in Manila, ADB is owned by 67 members, including 48 from the region. Its main instruments for helping its developing member countries are policy dialogue, loans, equity investments, guarantees, grants, and technical assistance.

  • JOINT VENTURE AGREEMENT of THAI AIRASIA X CO., LTD., an ASSOCIATED COMPANY of AIRASIA X (“TAAX” Or “JV COMPANY”)
    SUBJECT: AIRASIA X BERHAD (“AIRASIA X” OR “THE COMPANY”) - JOINT VENTURE AGREEMENT OF THAI AIRASIA X CO., LTD., AN ASSOCIATED COMPANY OF AIRASIA X (“TAAX” or “JV COMPANY”) Contents: 1. INTRODUCTION The Board of Directors of AirAsia X (“the Board”) wishes to announce that the Company had on 18th September 2013 entered into a Joint Venture Agreement (“JVA” or “Transaction”) with Mr. Tassapon Bijleveld (“TB”) and Mr. Julpas Kruesopon (“JK”), the shareholders of TAAX (collectively referred to as “the Parties”) to govern the relationship between the Parties. 2. DETAILS OF THE TAAX TAAX was incorporated on 12 March 2013 as a shelf company with registered capital of THB15. On 19 June 2013, TAAX increased its issued and paid-up share capital to THB400 million with AirAsia X holding forty nine per centum (49%), TB holding forty one per centum (41%) and JK holding ten per centum (10%). TAAX submitted its application with the Department of Civil Aviation of Thailand (“Thai DCA”) for Air Operator’s License (“AOL”) on 20 June 2013. It is expected that the approval for the AOL will be granted by the end of September 2013. Following this, TAAX will proceed with its submission for the Air Operator’s Certificate (“AOC”). Bangkok has a larger tourism and travel market (relative to Kuala Lumpur) with no current long haul low-cost carrier operator based there. Thai AirAsia Co., Ltd (“TAA”) has established a market leadership position and operates robust, profitable and growing short haul networks, that will provide feeder traffic to TAAX thus consolidating AirAsia X’s dominance in the North Asian (China, Japan, Korea) and Australian markets, by offering greater connectivity options to its customers from hubs in Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok.

  • Preliminary Operating Statistics for the 4​Th ​ Quarter 2019
    Preliminary Operating Statistics th​ For the 4​ Quarter 2019 AirAsia Group Berhad is pleased to announce the operating statistics for the fourth quarter of the financial year 2019 (“4Q2019”) and the full financial year ended 31 December 2019. AirAsia Group Berhad Consolidated AO​Cs1 continues to report growth in 4Q2019, with the total number of passengers carried up 9% year-on-year (“YoY”). Capacity expanded by 11% YoY, driven by large increases in Indonesia and Philippines, however load factor dipped slightly by 2 percentage points (“ppts”) to 82% in 4Q2019 due to the higher capacity. In 4Q2019, AirAsia Malaysia added 4% more capacity and carried 2% more passengers YoY, with a softer load factor of 82% due to change in pricing strategy. AirAsia Malaysia launched two new international routes, including a new unique route to Da-Lat in Vietnam from Kuala Lumpur. AirAsia Malaysia also began running commercial flights with its newly delivered Airbus A321neo in November 2019. For the full year 2019, AirAsia Malaysia carried 8% more passengers, faster than industry growth, reflecting continuing market share gain. AirAsia Indonesia’s capacity increase was significant at 32% higher than in 4Q2018. The number of passengers carried grew 30% compared to the previous corresponding quarter, recording marginally lower load factor of 81% owing to the higher capacity.

    September 3, 2021 Thai Enquirer Summary Political News There is no bigger news than Politics news today Top of the list on the news was the revelation by maverick single MP of Thai Civilized party – Mongkolkit Suksintharanon, who came out to say that Phalang Pracharat party’s Secretary General – Thammanat Prompao, was looking to depose 2014 coup leader Prayut Chan-o-cha from the position of Prime Minister. To top this off Wisarn Techateerawat, Phue Thai’s MP from Chiang Rai, came out to blast in the parliament that the Prime Minister was dishing out 5-million baht for each MP who was willing to support him to remain in the Prime Minister’s position in his reception room on the 3rd floor of parliament. MPs of Pheu also asked for the recording of the CCTV on 3rd floor reception room and corridor to be stored as evidence. Prayut later came out to deny the allegations and said that he would not repeat the mistakes of the past, in reference to 2008 when an MP supposedly representing Thaksin Shinawatra, was giving away 2 million baht to each MP as ‘cookies’. Seksakon Atthawong, Deputy Minister to the Prime Minister’s Office, came out to say that he was going to consult the legal department to file a lawsuit against Wisarn even if the MPs has the right to protect he may not be able to prosecute as a criminal, but there is a matter of ethics, therefore he will submit a complaint to Parliament speaker Chuan Leekpai, to check today which would then be submitted to the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC).
