AirAsia Cargo was awarded Asia’s Best Low Cost Cargo Carrier award in HKG on 09th March 2011 at the Aviation Awards Asia ceremony. Awards nominations were assessed by a panel of six distinguished industry professionals, taking into account individual nominees’ merits and achievements in areas such as: innovation, customer service, the deployment of technology to improve efficiency, safety-improvement initiatives and overall business strategy.
While shipments remains small, frequent flights allow the carrier to provide more competitive rates in the market due to under utilised cargo capacity, BT reported.
Osman-Rani said AirAsia's cargo rates can be up to 50% less than current market rates.
AirAsia identifies cargo as a major revenue-generating channel and a huge contributor to its ancillary income. The airline is optimizing the potential of its otherwise empty belly space to bring in cash by offering cargo services at rates considerably lower than its competitors’ and by tapping AirAsia’s extensive network and flight frequencies to reach more destinations and achieve faster delivery time.
AirAsia is strengthening cargo operations in part to protect its bottom line against fluctuations in fuel prices.
Asia’s largest low-cost carrier has been tying up with more cargo agents and large export-import firms in the markets that AirAsia flies to. It is also reaching markets beyond its current route network through other airlines with which AirAsia has special pro-rate agreements. These major airlines extend AirAsia’s reach to more cities in East Asia, the Middle East and Africa.
The AirAsia Cargo Service is a product that serves both the primary and secondary markets predominantly in ASEAN, Australia, Stansted, Orly, China, Taiwan and India. We are the first major low cost carrier to be actively engaged in the cargo service. The widebody feed through AirAsia X from Australia, Europe, China and Delhi augurs well with the cargo model we have developed for the narrow bodies that has unrivalled frequencies in ASEAN, serving the ASEAN region with cargo efficiently.”
