The budget airline is looking at fleet expansion across both short- and long-haul flights, as well as more flight routes.
SINGAPORE: Travellers may have more flight options in time to come, with Malaysian low-cost carrier AirAsia close to inking a deal with Airbus for wide-body aircraft.
“Right now, we're looking at more capacity. I can announce for the first time on CNA that we're looking at an aircraft order,” he told the national broadcaster on Thursday , during an interview with presenter Roland Lim on the sidelines of the annual Milken Institute Asia Summit in Singapore. “We see a huge potential in making ASEAN a multi-hub strategy. as big as Dubai for Emirates and Doha for Qatar, in terms of a hub into Africa, Europe, and even North America,” said Mr Fernandes.
He added the airline has resumed flights to all its destinations in China, and is looking at further expansion to more cities next year. Mr Fernandes said that while the budget carrier is “ahead of the curve” when it comes to staffing and recruitment for services, the supply of new aircraft and engines is slow amid supply chain issues.
Mr Fernandes said its aircraft services business is doing well while its digital ventures are “far better than expected”, despite being branded a Practice Note 17 firm.
