AirAsia Completes Transition to AirAsia Group Berhad

AirAsia has officially changed its corporate name from AirAsia X Berhad to AirAsia Group Berhad, completing a key step in the airline group’s strategy to integrate its operations and pursue its ambition of becoming the world’s first low-cost network carrier.

The name change follows shareholder approval at the company’s Annual General Meeting on June 25 and was formally registered by the Companies Commission of Malaysia on July 2. According to the company, the rebranding reflects the consolidation of its airlines into a single group designed to improve network connectivity, operational efficiency and long-term growth across Asia and other international markets.

Tan Sri Jamaludin Ibrahim, Independent Non-Executive Chairman of AirAsia Group Berhad, said: "The approval of name change by our shareholders reflects their confidence in our vision and the strategic direction we are taking as a unified airline group. This important step represents more than a corporate exercise. It marks a defining milestone in our ambition to become the world’s first low-cost network carrier, leveraging the synergies and full potential of our short- and medium-haul network. By bringing our airlines together under AirAsia Group, we are better positioned to enhance connectivity, deliver more seamless journeys and create greater value for our guests across the region and beyond.

“With a larger fleet, broader route network and stronger connectivity, we are poised to unlock new growth opportunities and create greater value for our shareholders, stakeholders and guests. As global travel continues to shift towards Asia and Asean, we are entering this next chapter from a position of strength. Guided by AirAsia’s entrepreneurial spirit and supported by strong corporate governance, disciplined execution and the unwavering commitment of our Allstars, we are confident in our ability to continue making air travel more accessible, drive sustainable long-term growth and build a world-class airline group for the future.”
