BFS Cargo E-Newsletter BFS Cargo E-Newsletter Vol. 7/2014 Handling with CARE…Customer ∙ Attentive ∙ Responsive ∙ Efficient Dear Friends, “BFS Cargo Welcome to the July edition of the BFS Cargo E- continues to Newsletter. invest in our facility to BFS Cargo continues to invest in our facility to improve improve the the service that we can offer you all. As I write this we service that are installing another 3 Vertical Carousel units in the we can offer Cargo Terminal. These will help us serve Customer with you all” small shipments even quicker than we can today as the David Ambridge retrieval of these pieces becomes automated. Some General Manager - Cargo photos of the installation are included in this edition. We will continue to invest more as we wait for AOT to finally give us approval to build another Cargo Terminal. We have been waiting 3 years already and I am sure that you, our Customers, are as frustrated by this delay as we are in BFS. The most consistent criticism of BFS on our regular Customer Surveys is traffic congestion in front of the building. As I have said before BFS is powerless to do anything about this until we get more Doors and the new Cargo Terminal. The E-AWB Conference in Geneva was a huge success for IATA. We finally seem to be gaining momentum on this very important issue and that is great to see. To further support this as BFS I will be partnering with 2 E-Portal companies and putting a link to them on our Website. These companies both provide E-AWB services at a minimal cost. This will help all the SME Forwarders to adopt without investing in IT systems for themselves. ACC3 came into effect on July 1st and as most of you know BFS was ready and had already gained our RA3 Validation from the EU Commission. Security in our Industry will only ever increase and BFS will always be at the forefront of this to ensure none of our Customers are adversely affected. BFS Cargo E-Newsletter Vol.7/2014 www.BangkokFlightServices.com BFS Cargo E-Newsletter 2 more Dual View X Ray machines arrived and are installed. We now have 5 of the most modern machines that can be bought in our facility and we have 2 more being shipped to us right now. This is another significant investment from BFS in Security. Cargo volumes remain static and show little or no signs of real growth. Let’s all hope that as the political situation in Thailand calms down we can see some growth in the 4th quarter of this year. I hope you enjoy this month’s edition Regards, David Ambridge General Manager – Bangkok Flight Services Cargo (WFS affiliate) BFS Cargo E-Newsletter Vol.7/2014 www.BangkokFlightServices.com BFS Cargo E-Newsletter Don Muang International Cargo Operations BFS Cargo has been operating an International Cargo Terminal at the Don Muang Airport for almost 2 years since October 2012.

  • 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 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.
