The AirAsia officer added, “Maintaining strong on-time performance requires constant focus especially in an operating environment where weather and other external factors can change quickly. But we know our guests rely on us for safe, affordable, and reliable air travel so we continue to work even harder to deliver that.“
Lu also sais tgat they have also strengthened how they operate and in spite of its low-cost model, the milestone proves that “affordable fares never come at the expense of operational reliability.”
