Truly ASEAN
2009 saw AirAsia Berhad (“AirAsia”) maintain its strong growth trajectory despite being a challenging year for the aviation industry. Underpinning our growth is our increasing penetration of the ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) region, with its population of almost 600 million people. In addition to Malaysia, we have operations in Indonesia and Thailand. Supporting our expansion across ASEAN is the continued enlargement of our route network and an increased frequency of flights on key routes. To realise our ASEAN-wide strategy, 2009 saw AirAsia successfully integrate our Malaysian, Indonesian and Thai operations to create a single, seemless structure. This innovation will result in major cost savings and efficiency enhancements. Meanwhile, driven by the passion to be the best in the business, we continue to focus on delivering quality as well as achieving economies of scale. In this way, we will continue to remain the lowest fare airline serving the ASEAN region.
