KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 19 – AirAsia Bhd is not considering being a full-fledged cargo operator, though the carrier has an extensive network, said its chief executive officer Datuk Seri Tony Fernandes.
“I leave that to MASkargo and Transmile. We have a lot of cargo space and certainly we will utilise it more,” Fernandes told reporters after a briefing on Tune Money Sdn Bhd today.
“We have a lot of initiatives that we are working on. We are looking at express cargo and online shopping to ship goods to people,” he added.
Tony said AirAsia had an “amazing network”, such as eight flights daily to Bangkok, which the company could use to develop a hand-carried courier business.
“We have helped a lot of cargo operators because if they want to send goods to Bandung, we do it. We will be a good forward shipper to big cargo lines.
“But as a full-fledged cargo operator, no,” he stated. – Bernama
