AirAsia Group: "On the outlook for IAA in 2Q16, load factor has surpassed our targets for April and we are seeing a similar trend for May and June. Average fare has dipped slightly in April against last year's result but the gap is expected to narrow for May and June. We are on track to achieve a load factor of 82% in the second quarter of the year and forecast loads to sustain above 80% for the third quarter. IAA is set to re-group and expand once again on international routes where we are the strongest," Tony Fernandes, CEO. Source: Company statement, 26-May-2016.
