To having a nice journey with Air Asia Airline
BACKGROUND OF COMPANY
Air Asia
The Air Asia Berhad is part of the Air Asia Group, a world-famous low cost airline that operates
extensive networks both domestically and internationally. Air Asia found low cost airfares in
Asia and is now currently the largest low fare, no-frills airline in Asia. It is also one of the largest
airlines in all of Asia in terms of passengers carried. Air Asia has also been voted the World’s
Best Low Cost Airline in 2009 and 2010. Air Asia Berhad is currently based in the Low Cost
Carrier Terminal (LCCT), Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA), Sepang. Its associate
airline is Air AsiaX, is also located at the LCCT and shares operational facilities with Air Asia
Berhad.
A Brief History of Air Asia
The airline was established by a Malaysian
corporation in 1993 and commences
operations in 1996. In December 2001, with
the airline heavily in debt, Air Asia was
purchased by Tony Fernandez of Tune Air
Sdn. Bhd. for the price of RM1. As part of the
purchase, Tony also took up the RM40million
debt. Under the leadership of Tony
Fernandez, the airline was flying high in 2002
and launched its new route that year. In 2003,
a second hub was opened in Senai International Airport, Johor Bahru, as well as the airline’s
maiden international flight to Bangkok. After that the only place Air Asia was heading for is up,
as the Thai and Indonesian subsidiaries were set up as well as the commencement of flights to
Indonesia, Macau, China, Philippines, Vietnam and Cambodia in 2005. Air Asia now flies to all
ASEAN countries, a great portion of Asian countries that include India, Iran, Sri Lanka and
Bangladesh; as well as to the United Kingdom, France, Japan, Korea and Australia via Air
AsiaX.In 2011, we are setting up another Air Asia hub in the Philippines and are well on the way
in setting up other similar operations elsewhere in the region soon after.

The initial idea of the Tony Fernandez when setup the online business to promote the Air Asia
Airline to the customers. The information is following below:
High tech world
In this globalization era everything has been changed to high tech. the word high tech
describe how high the imagination of human turns to reality. In this era everyone was busy for
24/7 in their life. Time taken to have meals also become less, so imagine how people are going to
outlets to booked the airlines ticket. The technology plays its role here. When there is an online
business people in this global era will easily booked their air ticket rather go to the outlets to
booked air ticket. There is no time limit for online business because it is 24/7. Every moment is
available and everyone can make the online booking without any wastage of money, energy and
time.
Business hour 24/7/365
There is no time limit for online business because it is 24/7. Every moment is available and
everyone can make the online booking without any wastage of money, energy and time. So
the founder Air Asia plans carefully here. When there is no time limit why not he starts the
online business which is bringing all the benefits to the organization.
Global reach
Online business is only route to reach all over the world. Everyone will get know about our
business in online. Customer from all over the world will get know about the business and
will purchase our services. When there is online reservation system customer from all over
the world can reserve the ticket without any wastage of energy.
E-BUSINESS MODEL
Basically e –business model is known as a company that has an online presence. An e-
business model is an approach to conducting electronic business through which a company can
sustain itself and generate profitable revenue growth. E-businesses are that have ability to sell,
trade, barter and transact over the web. The use of internet technologies to internetwork and
empower business processes, electronic commerce, and enterprise communication and
5
collaboration within a company and within its customer, suppliers and other business
stakeholders. This information took from the (software.ucv.ro. n.d)
However, the Air Asia Airlines is using the E-business Model to increase their profit and
make more customers to travel at there. So they decide to the low cost carrier (LCC) of the
business Model. The low cost airlines like Air Asia have changed the definition of airlines that
air travel is a luxury and it is only for the higher segment of the population. The key objective of
low cost carriers is to increase their reach and provide the services to a large segment. However,
the low cost carriers are now facing some challenges in the market. The information above and
following below is taking from the (Wong Pui Man, Cary, March 2009, skcs.hk/AirAs.ia.pdf)
The Low-Cost-Carrier (LCC) of E- Business Model
Air Asia has been classified into the Enterprise level E-business model
http://booking.airasia.com/ is the website of e-business model used by air Asia for their
online booking or online ticket reservation. This website allowed and make easy for
customer for booked their airlines tickets online.

without wasting on long queue to check in before fly.
Social networking: Facebook is the social web page where customer can get information
about the packages and promotions of Air Asia.
Attributes : online reservation systems
Revenue stream sources ‘transaction fee model: all BSP payment transactions for Air
Asia bookings will be charged a fixed BSP transaction fee.
BSP is billing settlement plan standardized system for airlines and agents, providing them
with a simplified approach to the selling, reporting and administration of passenger air
transportation. It is established under the general jurisdiction of the Passenger Agency
Conference (PAConf), delegated to the BSP Committee (BSPC) and co-ordinated by the
Agency Administrator/Plan Management.
The Low-Cost-Carrier (LCC) of E- Business Model
6
Air Asia follows the Low-Cost-Carrier (LCC) business model in the airline industry,
which can be characterized as below:
Simple Product
A typical low cost airline product is extremely basic. It focuses on getting passengers from A
to B, cutting out all the “extras”. This means there are no meals, drinks or snacks served free on
board. In certain airlines, these may be purchase on request. The aircraft have Narrow seating to
permit greater capacity. Low cost airlines offer all- economy flights, with no additional space
requirements for wider business class seating. Its means more passengers can accommodated on
each sector. There are no facilities for seat allocations as “free-seating” makes passengers
Board the flights early to get them a decent seat. The pricing structures of low cost airlines allow
for no additional schemes or sales promotion activities, including frequent-flyer programmers.
Positioning
The low cost airlines the world over are known to target Non-business passengers, leisure
traffic and the price-conscious business passenger segment. The low cost model works best on
short-haul point-to-point traffic with high frequencies. These airlines have aggressive marketing
strategies and compete with all transportation carriers, including the road and railway networks.
Most Western low cost airlines fly to secondary airports which are cheaper to land into.
However, this is not yet an option available in India.
Low Operating Costs
Low cost airlines have a very lean organization structure and operating costs are kept to the
bare minimum with low wages such as a crew or staff requirement are low and generally fresher
are preferred , low airport fees, low cost for maintenance and cockpit training like as these are
typically outsourced. There are no requirements for standby crews due to homogenous aircraft
fleet. The low cost carriers aim at achieving high resources productivity. It’s generally achieved
due to short ground waits like turnaround times are kept minimal due to simple boarding
processes, no air freight, no hub services and short cleaning times. However, selling costs are
7
also minimized as high percentage of ticket sales is generated online, eliminating the margins
that would otherwise need to be passed on as a commissions to travel agents.

IT IMPLEMENTATIONS AND STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT
Now days the globalize economy, information technology has driven important changes
in the nature and application of technology in business. The implementation of information
technology in its value chain provides powerful strategic and tactical tools for AirAsia, which if
properly applied and used, could bring great advantages in promoting and strengthening the
competitive advantages.
CURRENT STRATEGIC IT IMPLMENTATION
The AirAsia has currently adopted information technologies strategically to integrate the
operations and coordinate all the business and management functions. The followings are few
system implementations that AirAsia has done in its marketing and sales activities as well as
operation activity in the value chain. This information above and following below took from the
(www.skcs.hk/AirAsia.pdf, March 2009)
Yield Management System (YMS)
8
The Yield Management System (MYS) is known as the Revenue Management System,
which can understand, anticipates and reacts to the behavior of customer to maximize revenue
for the organization. This takes into account the operating costs and aids Air Asia to improve the
prices and allocate capacity to maximize predictable revenues. The optimization is done on two
levels in Air Asia; it is mention in following below:
•Seat
Every Air Asia seats are considered as an opportunity to maximize revenue. The seats are
available at various prices in different points of time. A reservation done at a later date will be
charged more than the one done earlier and set up for the same seat.
• Route
The Air Asia is adjusting the prices for routes or destinations that have a higher demand
when compared to others. The effective method is to combine these two levels for all flights and
routes, so that the both seat and the route is effectively priced for all the flights.
The Air Asia has realized to increase the revenue in (3-4%) for the same number of
aircrafts by taking advantage of the forecast of the high or low demand patterns, effectively
shifting the demand from low period to high period and charging a premium for late bookings.
Over the past couple of years, Air Asia have actually lowered prices in essential for LCC as the
YMS has been given to them for the window to increase their revenue by offering higher
discounts, more frequently during off-peak times while raising prices only marginally for peak
times. (Voneche, n.d)
Computer Reservation System (CRS)
The Air Asia’s CRS system is open Skies by Navitaire has been helped to grow at a
dramatic pace in the past couple of years. "Navitaire's Open Skies technology has truly enabled
Air Asia’s growth from 2 million passengers to 7.7 million passengers in less than two years.
Open Skies scaled easily to accommodate our growth,” which mention by Mr. Tony Fernandes.
It is an integrated web-based reservation and inventory system. However, it is including
with internet, call center, airport departure control and many more. It also a direct sales engine
that effectively eliminates the middleman (travel agents) and the sales commissions that need to
9
be paid. The centralized customer data is maintained by Open Skies and it is helps the Air Asia
to track the booking and schedule flight activities with real-time, on-demand reporting feature.
The huge booking information is provided online to the customers acts as a force that brings
more customers to use the website thus reducing the customer support costs. Besides that, the
important feature is that Open Skies effortlessly integrates with the implemented of YMS, so that
the systems can be used in unison for pricing and revenue maximization and driving down the
costs of operation at the same time. The CRS enabled in AirAsia because to introduce the first
ticket less travel option and also provides features such as advanced boarding passes in addition
to online booking that enabled the growth of AirAsia as these features attracted customers that
did not have the time for purchasing tickets from counters and coming in 1 hour early for
securing a seat on the aircraft. The AirAsia have proposed to implement a Wireless Delivery
System (WDS) to expand its reach via mobile phones. This system is potential customers to able
for booking their tickets via by using the mobile phones. Actually, this strategic to move for
growth as the Asia-Pacific region has a larger population of mobile phone users rather than
internet users.
Enterprise Resource Planning System (ERP)
The AirAsia has recently chosen for a full-fledged ERP system implemented by Avanade
consultants in May 2005. By implementing this package AirAsia is looking to successfully
maintain process integrity, reduce financial month-end closing processing times, and speed up
reporting and data retrieval processes for the Microsoft Malaysia.

drive greater insight into the needs of high value customers.

(Not possessing any related card services for transaction, emergency booking (before 24
hours fight)
Minimum air-fare rates
AirAsia faces challenges finding open takeoff and landing slots at opportune times, and
Thailand’s regulation that sets minimum air-fare rates. Although Transport Minister Suriya
Jungrungreangkit said the current minimum air-fare regulations will be scrapped to open up the
market, he couldn’t name a date when this will be done. This seems to be favoritism toward
Thai Airways International’s domestic operations, and affects Thai AirAsia to compete in the
Thailand market.
14

technology to develop their organization. Actually, they choose this kind of information system
for their customer equipment. Therefore, the benefit and features of the system will enable a
good service of the Air Asia to meet and satisfy the need of the customers. But the Air Asia still
has to increase their technology system for inflammation their sales and profit. However the Air
Asia must increase to train their employees and empowered them by giving them guidelines on
how to provide good quality of services to customers. However, employees should be trained to
be familiar about the whole operations of Air Asia to increase effectiveness and efficiency of
customer services, thus build up relationship with customers. Besides, traveler needs minimum
45 minutes to reach to the terminals which are very time-consuming and inconvenient.
