AirAsia: Standard, consistent SOPs required for intra-Asean travel

AirAsia Malaysia chief executive officer Riad Asmat said continued discussion is required in terms of understanding the proper and accurate technology to be utilised in addressing the SOPs across the border within the Asean countries.

KUALA LUMPUR: Asean countries need to consider applying standardisation and consistency in the standard operating procedures (SOPs) requirement within the intra-Asean travel bubble for better recovery in the tourism industry, said AirAsia Malaysia chief executive officer Riad Asmat.

He said at present, different countries have different sets of protocols and SOPs in engaging the pandemic, with few travel bubbles which have made travelling difficult.
