AirAsia CE: ASEAN growth potential still good
AirAsia CE Aireen Omar said growth potential across the ASEAN region is still good, despite some signs of a slowdown. Omar said, “There are potentials for more connectivity as well as frequencies” throughout the 10-country regional grouping. However, she said slow progress on the ASEAN Open Skies agreement across ASEAN members has affected potential expansion rates. “Had Open Skies policy and liberalisation of the sector taken place earlier, AirAsia would have expanded at a much faster pace,” she said. Omar cited harmonisation of standards, licensing and safety as key factors needing attention in the region’s aviation sector, but said that even without a fully implemented regional Open Skies policy, LCCs like AirAsia had successfully used joint ventures to expand regionally. <br/>
