SINGAPORE, 23 September 2024: AirAsia embarks on a new chapter in its partnership with European aircraft manufacturer Airbus to advance research into aviation sustainability initiatives that lower carbon emissions in the ASEAN region.
In a Memorandum of Understanding between their sustainability divisions, AirAsia and Airbus will collaborate to explore decentralised production of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) using alternative feedstock and technologies in Southeast Asia.
The research-based partnership aims to identify opportunities to support the onward commercial development of promising projects to expand SAF supply in the region.
The MoU also set forth conditions for jointly investigating advanced measures to improve air traffic management (ATM) and reduce CO2 emissions, leveraging AirAsia’s industry-leading fuel efficiency programme and Airbus’ pioneering role as a global leader in aeronautics, space, and related services.
The organisations will identify applicable solutions developed as part of the Single European Sky ATM Research (SESAR) Project* and assess their suitability for adaptation to ASEAN skies.
Capital A Chief Sustainability Officer, Yap Mun Ching said: “AirAsia will be a key partner of Airbus in ASEAN to test the feasibility of SAF output developed using alternative feedstock and technologies, as well as ground-breaking ATM initiatives supported by Airbus’ innovation teams. As a regional carrier based in five ASEAN countries, we bring unparalleled operational experience to complement Airbus’ technological expertise. The partnership establishes a foundation upon which to build joint projects at multiple levels that address the broad needs of improving the sector’s environmental performance.”
Yap said the partnership directly addresses the aviation sector’s prerogative to invest in and scale up in-sector solutions critical to decarbonising the industry. Besides improving efficiency and adopting SAF, she said upgrading AirAsia’s fleet to the most fuel-efficient models is a key pathway to achieving net zero by 2050.
AirAsia deployed its brand-new A321neo aircraft in June, and the airline will receive five more aircraft in the fourth quarter of the year for entry into service in Malaysia and Thailand.
AirAsia currently holds an order for 361 units of the A321 model to meet its fleet growth and replacement needs. By 2035, aircraft upgrades are expected to reduce AirAsia’s CO2 emissions by up to 10% compared to its 2019 baseline. Operational efficiencies and SAF are expected to deliver another 15% reduction as the airline group charts its pathway towards net zero by 2050.
In 2023, AirAsia avoided emitting 130,000 tonnes of CO2 from its narrowbody regional network by implementing over 20 operational efficiency measures, equivalent to the impact of more than 2 million trees planted**. These measures contributed to a reduction in fuel costs of USD40 million and over USD388,000 in shadow carbon costs.
*SESAR is the technological pillar of the EU’s Single European Skies initiative, which aims to modernise Europe’s air and ground ATM infrastructure and procedures to enhance safety, cost-efficiency, and environmental performance. Sincehan EUR2 billion has been committed to the development phase of SESAR’s ambitious goals.

“We observed an uptick in demand towards the end of the month, in line with expectations as we look ahead to the traditional year-end peak.”

KUCHING, Sarawak, 23 September 2024: The Sarawak Tourism Board (STB), in collaboration with Business Events Sarawak, Tourism Malaysia Brunei, Royal Brunei Airlines, and the Sarawak Trade and Tourism Office Singapore (STATOS), successfully hosted the Brunei, Singapore, and Sarawak Travel Connect Business Networking Session at the Sheraton Hotel Kuching last week.
The event followed a successful halal familiarisation trip and marked a pivotal moment in strengthening regional tourism partnerships and creating new business opportunities between Sarawak and its neighbouring markets.
STB CEO, Puan Sharzede Datu Hj Salleh Askor, delivers her opening remarks at the Sarawak Travel Connect Business Networking Session at Sheraton Hotel Kuching.
Both Singapore and Brunei rank among Sarawak’s top five countries of visitor arrivals, underscoring their significance in driving the state’s tourism growth. From January to July 2024, visitor arrivals from Brunei surged by 58%, while Singapore recorded a 32% increase compared to 2019 – both surpassing pre-pandemic years. Travellers from both countries strongly prefer authentic local cuisine, reflecting a growing appetite for genuine cultural experiences.
With many travellers from these markets, Sarawak is positioning itself as an accessible and inclusive halal destination. Hotels in Kuching, particularly in the city’s ‘golden triangle’ — such as Pullman Kuching, Hilton Kuching, The Waterfront Hotel Kuching, and Riverside
Majestic Hotel are halal-certified. This certification reflects Sarawak’s commitment to hygiene and ethical practices that appeal to many travellers.
With halal dining options available throughout the state, these efforts ensure that travellers can confidently explore Sarawak’s rich culinary and cultural diversity, knowing their needs are prioritised with care and integrity. By emphasising inclusivity and accessibility, Sarawak reinforces its reputation as a welcoming and diverse destination that caters to all.
Kuching, Malaysia’s first UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy, epitomises Sarawak’s blend of cultural heritage and diverse cuisine. Shaped by 34 ethnic groups, the city offers a unique gastronomic journey that mirrors its multicultural essence. Halal-certified hotels and restaurants further enhance this inclusivity, allowing travellers to enjoy Sarawak’s celebrated cuisine fully.
Beyond its culinary appeal, Kuching is also a World Craft City, recognised by the World Crafts Council (WCC) for its intricate beadwork, woodcarving, rattan weaving, and traditional fabric weaving — crafts that tell the story of the land and its people. Visitors can immerse themselves in these authentic cultural experiences, deepening their appreciation of Sarawak’s vibrant heritage.
Sarawak is equally distinguished by its natural wonders, boasting two UNESCO World Heritage Sites — Niah National Park and Mulu National Park — making it the first state in Malaysia to achieve this recognition. Complementing these globally acclaimed sites is the Sarawak Delta Geopark, recognised as Malaysia’s sixth national geopark, underscoring the region’s diverse geological and ecological significance.
