AirAsia X sees travel demand across key markets improving, supported by ongoing regional stabilisation, and said that it will focus on strengthening operational performance and network efficiency, building a more scalable operating model across the network.
The Group added that it is progressively restoring aircraft frequencies and capacity across its network, with full capacity expected by August 2026. The Group has announced service to several new destinations, including Busan, Bahrain, London, Batam and other domestic destinations.
It also noted that with jet fuel prices dropping, AirAsia is progressively restoring its value fares for the hundreds of millions of guests who choose to fly with the Group.
Additionally, the Group has also accelerated fleet modernisation, progressively returning older, less efficient aircraft and deploying new Airbus A321LR that deliver up to 20% fuel burn reduction per seat. The Group’s planned induction of the Airbus A220 in the future will further enhance fuel efficiency and reduce operating costs, supporting the Group’s commitment to consistent, profitable growth and continued fare competitiveness.
Bo Lingam, Group CEO of AirAsia Group said “We remain actively engaged with our government and partners to further advance a more competitive cost environment that ultimately benefits travellers. Air travel and tourism remain the economic backbone of many Asean countries, which is why all stakeholders across the aviation and tourism industry must play their part in ensuring costs remain affordable as the sector continues to recover. This includes avoiding increases in airport levies, taxes and charges over the next one to two years, as this will be critical to sustaining demand, improving connectivity and supporting economic recovery across the region.”
