It is unclear how this will impact the false start of AirAsia Cambodia which was due to launch in 2023. There was no update from the company towards the end of the year despite ambitions to be operational by the end of 2023 and it still has no official social media presence or website in the Kingdom.
The Malasian-based conglomerate Capital A announced in January 2024, that it plans to sell its budget airline AirAsia to its medium-haul affiliate AirAsia X to streamline operations. This would mean a merger of AirAsia Malaysia and AirAsia subsidiaries with AirAsia X.
According to Capital A chief executive Tony Fernandes, a new entity would operate short-, medium- and long-haul flights with the CEO adding "We are going to merge the two airlines and double passenger traffic to 200 million (per year) from about 80 to 90 million currently."
