AIRASIA GEARS UP TO CONFRONT ASEAN RIVALS
As Malindo Airways readies to enter the competitive Southeast Asia budget-carrier market, AirAsia wants to boost business by accelerating fleet expansion and setting up innovation labs.
AirAsia Group CEO Tony Fernandes said that the Malaysia-based group plans for Indonesia AirAsia (IAA) to take delivery of 10 to 12 new Airbus A320s a year starting in 2013, up from an original five new aircraft a year, intending for its local subsidiary to operate up to 60 aircraft by the end of 2015.
“We feel good about the Indonesian market. By having a larger fleet, we will be able to strengthen both our international and domestic routes here,” Tony said on Tuesday.
