KUALA LUMPUR: AirAsia Bhd is adding in-flight calls and data access to its range of services

with an initial investment of US$1.8mil to equip the systems in six aircraft this year.

AirAsia non-executive chairman Datuk Abdul Aziz Abu Bakar said the airline had equipped four
of its 96 fleet of A320 with GSM onboard system and was looking to install it on two other
aircraft before the year-end.

“We are at a trial stage now and we plan to expand the service to more aircraft, going forward,”
he said after the launch of the Maxis’ in-flight roaming service yesterday.

Abdul Aziz said the service was expected to boost the carrier’s ancillary income, which
contributed about 15% of its total sales now.

AirAsia X chief executive officer Azran Osman-Rani said in a statement that the airline was
looking at introducing the service for its long-haul flights.

The in-flight roaming service is with partnership with Maxis Bhd and in-flight connectivity
provider, OnAir.

It will enable Maxis customers flying with AirAsia from Kuala Lumpur Low-Cost Carrier
Terminal to stay connected while en route to their overseas destinations.

Meanwhile, Bloomberg reported AirAsia Bhd chief executive officer Datuk Seri Tony Fernandes
as saying in Singapore that the company planned to hold an initial share sale for its Thai affiliate
by the middle of next year.
