AirAsia to sell tickets on other airlines as part of online push

AirAsia Group said Friday it would sell flights on more than 100 other global airlines as part of a push to boost revenues. The carrier said it had signed a strategic partnership with travel technology company Kiwi.com that would give customers access to destinations not served by AirAsia, including London, Dubai, Madrid and Auckland. "We are reinventing ourselves as more than just an airline, bringing to life our vision for airasia.com to be the region's one-stop travel shop," AirAsia Group CE Tony Fernandes said. AirAsia is also looking at other ways to partner directly with airlines and companies that complement the carrier's network and travel services beyond Asia Pacific, said airasia.com. Like EasyJet, AirAsia wants to build a digital business to lift profits and keep passengers loyal beyond flying. <br/>
