Kuala lumpur: AirAsia X has successfully completed the acquisition of AirAsia Bhd and AirAsia Aviation Group Ltd from Capital A. The consideration shares and placement shares are slated for listing and quotation on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia on January 19, 2026.

He expressed confidence that the integration would unlock substantial synergies and bolster AirAsia Group's leadership in the regional aviation market.

The consolidation is set to enhance operational and financial efficiencies, such as improved fleet utilization and more integrated network planning. It also aims to establish a more resilient operating platform by capitalizing on the broader aviation and travel ecosystem within Capital A's group of companies. The anticipated benefits reflect a strategic alignment that positions AirAsia Group for future success in the competitive aviation industry.
