About Air Asia Group

AirAsia needs no introduction in ASIA and ASEAN, where it is the leading low-cost carrier, connecting people and places across 293 routes, 90 of which are categorised as unique routes. In 2017, the Group, which includes AirAsia Group Berhad (Consolidated AOCs – AirAsia Malaysia, AirAsia Indonesia, AirAsia Philippines, AirAsia Thailand, AirAsia India and AirAsia Japan) reinforced its leadership position with two remarkable milestones: flying over 435 million guests and grew from 2 aircraft in 2001 to 205 aircraft as at end-2017.

From an airline with two aircraft flying six routes in Malaysia in January 2002, AirAsia has soared in the last sixteen years to cover over 119 destinations in 21 countries. Today, employing more than 20,000 staff and with a market capitalisation of just over RM14.6 billion (as at 28 February 2018), it is the only Truly ASEAN airline, serving the region's 3.3 billion population from 23 hubs in six countries - Kuala Lumpur, Kota Kinabalu, Kuching, Penang, Johor Bahru and Langkawi in Malaysia; Bangkok, Phuket, Chiang Mai, Krabi, U-Tapao (Pattaya) and Hat Yai in Thailand; Jakarta, Bali, Medan and Surabaya in Indonesia; Manila, Kalibo (Boracay) and Cebu in Philippines; Bengaluru, Delhi and Kolkata in India; and Nagoya in Japan.

The quest to democratise air travel began when Tune Air Sdn. Bhd. – founded in 2001 by Tan Sri Tony Fernandes, Dato' Pahamin Ab. Rajab, Datuk Kamarudin Meranun and Dato' Aziz Bakar - bought over the loss-making, debt-riddled AirAsia from HI COM Holdings Berhad (now DRB-HICOM Berhad) for a token sum of RM1. The enterprising group quickly settled the airline's debts and set about rebranding and relaunching AirAsia as a low-fare carrier.

The Group's entire business model centres around a low-cost philosophy which requires its operations to be lean, simple and efficient. Several key strategies have been employed towards this effect, including:

• High Aircraft Utilisation

  AirAsia focuses on high frequency and high turnaround of flights, both of which add to customer convenience and greater cost efficiencies. Its turnaround of 25 minutes is the fastest in the region.

• Low Fare, No Frills

  This means no frequent flyer miles or airport lounges in exchange for lower fares. Guests have the choice of paying for in-flight meals, snacks and drinks.

• Point to Point Network

  All short-haul AirAsia flights (four-hour flight radius or less) and medium- to long haul AirAsia X flights are non-stop, doing away with the need for human resources, physical infrastructure and facilities at transit locations.

In addition, a decision was made in December 2004 to convert the existing fleet of ageing Boeing B737s with the higher capacity yet more fuel-efficient, reliable and cost-efficient Airbus A320s. As a result, today, the Group boasts the largest and newest A320 fleet in the region. Of its 205 aircraft, 183 are Airbus A320ceo and 22 are Airbus A320neo, and the Group is targeting to double the size of its narrowbody fleet to 500 aircrafts by 2027.

Collectively, these strategies have established AirAsia as the lowest-cost airline in the world, with a cost/ASK (available seat kilometre) of 3.07 (US cents) as at FY2017. This has been achieved without compromising safety. The highest priority is given to safe operations, and AirAsia complies with conditions as set by regulators in all the countries where it operates. The Group also partners with the most renowned maintenance providers to ensure its fleet is always in the best condition.

Innovative use of technology has played a key role in AirAsia's success story, beginning with online booking. It was the first airline in Asia to go ticketless -in March 2002 - allowing guests to pay for their bookings by credit card over the phone. Over the years, it has built on its IT platform to increase the ease of customer transactions as well as provide greater savings to the Group. In 2010, AirAsia unveiled its latest IT booking innovation in the form of New Skies, which allows customers to better manage their online bookings. With the advent of the social media, tools such as Facebook, Twitter and blogs have become integral to the Group's customer relationship initiatives. AirAsia is, in fact, recognised as the most popular airline in the region on Facebook in terms of fan base.

The Group's adherence to best practices has been recognised via numerous awards over the years. Perhaps most notably AirAsia has been voted the World's Best Low Cost Airline for nine consecutive years, in 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017. This award, from Skytrax, reflects the opinions of about 20 million travellers worldwide who were polled by the London-based aviation consultant. AirAsia feels proud of such endorsement and is committed to living up to guests' expectations by continuing to keep costs down while providing the highest levels of service and efficiency as it spreads its wings further and wider across the skies.
