In light of the Covid-19 pandemic that has led to unforeseen extensive and increasing border restrictions by various countries, after careful consideration, the Board of Directors of AirAsia Group Berhad (“the Company”) has resolved to temporarily suspend all international and domestic flights operated by AirAsia Berhad (flight code AK) as follows:
Other airlines within the AirAsia Group, namely Philippines AirAsia Inc. (flight code Z2), Thai AirAsia Co., Ltd. (flight code FD), PT Indonesia AirAsia (flight code QZ) and AirAsia (India) Limited (flight code I5) have similarly reduced the frequency of their flights as follows:
The Board believes this temporary fleet hibernation is the right thing to do to ensure the well-being of our guests and employees, which will remain as the top priority of our business during this challenging time.
The Company will continue to evaluate the situation closely and is prepared to reinstate the services as soon as the situation improves, subject to the necessary regulatory approvals.
AirAsia Group remains committed to assisting the relevant government authorities to support the repatriation of travellers and shipment of goods.
