KUALA LUMPUR (Nov 7): After several delays, budget carrier AirAsia Bhd and its long-haul affiliate AirAsia X Bhd today moved to their new corporate office located beside klia2. Staff of the two airlines had been working from their office near the Low Cost Carrier Terminal (LCCT) although their airline operations had moved to klia2 in May 2014. AirAsia executive chairman Datuk Kamarudin Meranun, who is also group chief executive officer (CEO) of AirAsia X, along with AirAsia group CEO Tan Sri Tony Fernandes, AirAsia X chairman Tan Sri Rafidah Aziz, AirAsia CEO Aireen Omar, AirAsia X CEO Benyamin Ismail and respective board members were present to welcome all staff into the new building. AirAsia had previously claimed it was forced to relocate its airline operations to klia2 from LCCT even though the new building was allegedly rife with security and construction problems. Last week, the AirAsia group was reported to have expressed its intention to move its entire airline operations from klia2 to the KLIA main terminal by January 2017.
