Capital A Bhd chief executive officer Tan Sri Tony Fernandes.

KUALA LUMPUR: AirAsia Move, a digital venture by Capital A Bhd, did not set a target on the take up for its newly-launched Asean Explorer Pass as this serves as a testing ground for airlines offering a subscription model.

“One major hiccup that is going to come, 99% of people will say (this is a) con job. (They will say) ‘I tried to book a flight to Bangkok and couldn’t get it (seat)’. That is not the intention of this product,” Capital A chief executive officer Tan Sri Tony Fernandes, who is also executive chairman of Move Digital said.
