Capital A Berhad, formerly known as AirAsia Group Berhad, is a diversified travel and lifestyle group based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The company’s core business is its low-cost airline operations, serving more than 165 destinations across Asia Pacific, the Middle East, and Australia through its regional affiliates in Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, and India. Its airline segment provides passenger air transportation under the AirAsia and AirAsia X brands, targeting budget-conscious travelers with competitive fares and extensive route networks.
In addition to its airline operations, Capital A has developed a digital ecosystem centered on the airasia Super App, which offers an integrated platform for ride-hailing, food delivery, e-commerce, hotel and flight bookings, and financial services. The group’s fintech arm, BigPay, provides digital payment solutions and remittance services, aiming to enhance financial inclusion across its markets. Capital A’s logistics division, Teleport, delivers end-to-end e-commerce supply chain solutions, covering express courier, warehousing, and cross-border fulfilment.
Founded in 2001 by entrepreneurs Tony Fernandes and Kamarudin Meranun, the company was listed on Bursa Malaysia in 2004 and rebranded to Capital A Berhad in late 2022 to reflect its broader digital ambitions beyond aviation. Under the leadership of group CEO Tony Fernandes, Capital A has pursued strategic partnerships and joint ventures to expand its digital offerings and strengthen its position in Southeast Asia’s fast-growing travel and lifestyle sectors.
Capital A continues to adapt its business model by leveraging technology to improve customer engagement and operational efficiency. Through its multi-vertical approach, the group aims to capture synergies between its airline, digital, and logistics businesses, positioning itself as a leading regional platform for travel, commerce, and financial services.
