When In Manila, travel to different parts of the Philippines and the neighboring region!
AirAsia just launched its ASEAN hub in the heart of Jakarta Indonesia this August 7th, 2012. It has been a good decade of AirAsia operations and now that they are entering into their second decade, they are more committed to staying true to their pledge “Now Everyone Can Fly.”
Ribbon Cutting
AirAsia ASEAN was put up as the airline’s regional base. The office is located far enough, physically as well as psychologically from AirAsia’s airline offices in each of the countries they operate in. This would allow management to focus on future growth plans, apart from the already structured day-to-day operations of AirAsia airline. AirAsia ASEAN should provide them of an environment free of the pressures of day-to-day operations.
AirAsia’s Group Chief Executive Officer Tan Sri Tony Fernandez is very serious in upholding their pledge “Now Everyone Can Fly” and dreams big for the expansion of AirAsia airline.
“The establishment of the AirAsia asean office in Jakarta as our regional base is to help to more fully deliver on our pledge – Now everyone can fly – to all the people of ASEAN and beyond. We are blessed to be located in a part of the world where economic growth is expected to be sustained despite the chilly economic winds blowing through Europe and the United States. Shifting AirAsia’s emphasis to a regional strategy is, we believe, not just good business, but also a move that will keep us ahead of the inevitable competition that is heading our way.”
