’s Capital A Berhad—said first quarter traffic at its airlines across Southeast Asia nearly quadrupled, adding to signs a travel recovery is well underway as governments around the region ease Covid-19 restrictions.
The group carried 3.75 million passengers in the three months to March 31 across Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand, compared with 976,968 a year ago, Capital A said in aAs travel demand recovers, AirAsia is also gradually restoring its fleet, increasing the number of its aircraft to 152 in the first quarter from 149 a year ago. At the same time, the carrier is mounting more flights, boosting overall capacity by 238% to 4.94 million passengers as of end-March.
Other Asian carriers including billionaire Lucio Tan’s Philippine Airlines and Singapore Airlines have also been reporting improved traffic numbers in recent months. To ensure sustained recovery, AirAsia has called on governments across the region to further ease remaining travel restrictions. “It is a sad fact that some of our airfares cost less than the Covid-19 tests required by many countries in Asia, making the overall cost of air travel burdensome for most of the ordinary travelers that we serve,” Bo Lingam, group CEO of AirAsia Aviation Group,The testing requirements, including the number and type of tests involved, should constantly be reviewed to ensure that they remain relevant, without burdening travelers nor compromising public health.
