AirAsia staying put in Kuala Lumpur
AirAsia has dismissed reports that it is moving its corporate headquarters from Kuala Lumpur to Jakarta.
The low cost carrier said: "There are absolutely no plans, nor the inclination, to move the headquarters of this Malaysian-incorporated company out of the country."
The airline said the office in Jakarta is to be called AirAsia Asean, an entity set up under the aegis of AirAsia, and the main goal of the unit is to serve as a representative office for AirAsia in efforts to broaden its branding as a "Truly Asean" airline.
AirAsia said the decision to locate a representative office in Jakarta “is based solely on the rationale that the Asean Secretariat is based in Jakarta, and a regional office there would help AirAsia present its ideas regarding regional aviation and tourism growth much more effectively”.
“AirAsia is but merely moving ahead of the curve in locating AirAsia Asean in Jakarta to help increase our visibility and profile in the region's most-populated nation."
