His role is to oversee the four airlines in the group, namely AirAsia Malaysia, AirAsia Philippines, AirAsia Thailand, and AirAsia Indonesia.

"This structural change helps facilitate strong projected growth in both airline and non-airline portfolio businesses.

"The AirAsia Aviation entity holds the group’s existing airline investments and paves the way for new airline ventures to be formed in due course,” said Lingam.

The company has also established a new AirAsia consulting division, tasked with reviewing new airline partnerships and franchise opportunities, he said.

"We look forward to the reopening of international borders as the next key milestone.

"We will continue to review new markets to operate from in the future, like Cambodia, where we can connect Asean once again with the best value fares and lifestyle offerings,” he added. — Bernama
