AirAsia to Enter Second Decade with New Regional Strategy

13-Jun-2012 A decade ago, AirAsia came under new ownership and management and relaunched itself as Asia's first low-cost carrier. The new incarnation began with a "fleet" of two aging Boeing-737's, six domestic routes and a staff of 250 Malaysian nationals. Ten years on, the AirAsia Group encompasses six airlines --- AirAsia Malaysia, AirAsia Thailand, AirAsia Indonesia, Philippines' AirAsia, AirAsia Japan and AirAsia X -- serving 80 destinations on 142 routes, a practically all-new fleet of 103 Airbus A-320's and 11 wide-body A330's and A-340's. Our staff or better known as AirAsia AllStars now number around 10,000 and they represent all the nationalities of ASEAN as well as nationalities from East, West and South Asia -- and elsewhere in the world.
