AirAsia Group carries 13% more passengers in Q2
The AirAsia Group showed strong load factors, as the group rapidly increased its fleet size and capacity. The LCC group—including the core Malaysian operation and affiliates in Indonesia and the Philippines—carried 10.9m passengers in Q2, up 13% year-over-year, with the flagship Air Asia Malaysia carrying 7.9m passengers. The group, which has not yet released Q2 financial results, said its total fleet grew by 18 aircraft, with 11 going to AirAsia Malaysia. The result is a capacity increase of 17% to 12.7m seats. The group’s load factor was reasonably good at 86%, although sliding 3 points YOY. AirAsia pointed out that the Q2 is usually a lull season for traveling in Indonesia, resulting in a lower load factor and passengers carried, both shrinking by 4% YOY. <br/>
