PETALING JAYA: AirAsia Malaysia could emerge as South-East Asia’s largest airline in 2019 by passenger traffic and seat capacity, thereby overtaking current leader Lion Air, said CAPA Centre for Aviation.
The growth will be from all its five bases (KLIA2, Johor Baru, Kota Kinabalu, Kuching and Penang). It also plans to add five or six more new aircraft in 2019, including the A321neos, to its fleet and by 2020 it would have over 100 aircraft.
