Airasia Wants Half Of Its Revenue To Come From Outside Flights by Derra44: 3:58pm On Jan 25, 2021 |
Low-cost airline AirAsia had a tough 2020. But its CEO, Karen Chan, is taking a glass half full approach. She says the travel downturn and subsequent fallout for AirAsia was a blessing in disguise. It forced AirAsia to look outside its comfort zone and at a new way of doing business. Now, Ms Chan plans to transform AirAsia into a lifestyle brand. As a result, by the mid-2020s, she expects 50% of AirAsia’s revenue will come from non-aviation sources. AirAsia wants to build on already solid ancillary revenue streams Speaking at a CAPA Live event on Wednesday, Karen Chan spoke about her vision for AirAsia and what it would mean for the airline. “We anticipate in five years time, basically by the end of 2024, that 50% of (AirAsia’s) revenue would be coming from non-flight-related, non-aviation-related revenue.” As a low-cost carrier, AirAsia already has handy ancillary revenue streams. Their base fares are cheap, but checked-in luggage on short sectors starts from US$12, seat selection starts from just under $3, and a reheated container of AirAsia’s pretty good nasi lemak costs just over $4. In 2018, ancillary revenue made up 22% of AirAsia’s total revenue. Around half of that 22% came from baggage charges. Last year, AirAsia Group chief executive Tony Fernandes, said his airline group was diversifying. “AirAsia.com is more than just selling airline tickets,” he said. “We now have the same potential to sell hotel rooms. I can do some crazy things. I can say I can buy hotels, book a hotel room with us and I can give you a free flight. Hotels can be as large as AirAsia tickets.” Not just an airline, AirAsia wants to be your lifestyle partner Yesterday, Karen Chan spoke about AirAsia’s ambitions to become a fully-fledged online travel agency that offers not just hotels but also a range of travel and lifestyle products and experiences. “Not all the flights are always full, and the load factor will not be 100%,” said Ms Chan. “So the unsold infantry, and because they are so perishable, even as an 85% load factor for an Airbus A320, I still have about 20 to 25 seats unsold. I will now be able to bundle that unsold inventory for one ringgit or 25 cents with the hotel’s direct inventory. And I will be able to go into the market with a best buys guarantee. “We can go and expand into where other airlines are just not able to do so. We actually want to go and be seen as basically a lifestyle partner.” Source: https://facinghistory.instructure.com/eportfolios/4198/Bbovky_2020_v_HD_Quality/Bbovky_2020_Film_Online__Cel_Film_Zdarma https://ver-jumanji2-pelicula-2021.tumblr.com/ [url]https://ver-jumanji2-pelicula-2021.tumblr.com/post/641016447946080256/ver-jumanji-2-pel%C3%ADcula-completa-gratis-en[/url] https://imperial.instructure.com/courses/15595/pages/123movies-watch-one-night-in-miami-2020-streaming-full-hd https://imperial.instructure.com/courses/15597/pages/123movies-watch-demon-slayer-mugen-train-full-movie-stream https://imperial.instructure.com/courses/15598/pages/123movies-watch-redemption-day-2021-full-movie-stream https://imperial.instructure.com/courses/15599/pages/watch-gintama-the-final-movie-2021-full-hd-stream https://studiumfc.umontreal.ca/blog/index.php?entryid=23913 https://campus.clps.net/blog/index.php?entryid=13809 https://www.questionboss.com/threads/hicham-hajji-says-this-was-just-another-opportunity.11961/ [url] https://baaqmd.granicusideas.com/ideas/redemption-day-2021-is-a-predictable-action-war-movie[/url] http://recampus.ning.com/forum/topics/claiming-without-evidence-and-based-on-a-short-clip https://campus.clps.net/blog/index.php?entryid=13811 https://www.thewyco.com/hiking/jack-black-plans-to-retire-after-jumanji-the-next-level-2021-25-01-2021
