KUALA LUMPUR (April 30): Capital A Bhd, formerly AirAsia Group Bhd, said the budget airline is monitoring the development of zero-emission aircraft as part of the its planned fleet transformation and as it explores innovative avenues to prepare for the future of travel. "As with everything we do, this will be another exciting first in the region — making eco-friendly ultra short-haul air travel affordable and inclusive. We are currently undertaking a thorough study, and look forward to announcing more developments in our next annual report,” it added. We believe all the signs point towards regional air travel returning to some measure of normalcy within the year and that international air travel will recover rapidly throughout 2022 and the years ahead.
