Sepang : AirAsia X Berhad ("AirAsia X" or the "Company") on August 26 reported its unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025 ("2Q25").
The Company recorded a turnover of RM 660.8 million in 2Q25, marginally lower year-on-year ("YoY") as capacity rose by six percent YoY to 1.12 million seats in a softer fare environment due to low season. Passenger traffic grew six percent YoY to 935,105 passengers, maintaining a sound Passenger Load Factor ("PLF") of 83 percent, unchanged YoY despite the increased capacity.
AirAsia X CEO Benyamin Ismail said: "Looking ahead, we have also announced the launch of flights to Istanbul, Türkiye in 4Q25."
This quarter, average base fare declined to RM405, impacted by historical seasonality and cautious travel sentiments following the concerns on earthquakes in Japan. In managing seasonality, the Company had also augmented its load-active, yield-passive strategy, leveraging on the advantageous fuel price environment. Ancillary revenue bolstered the Company's performance with revenue per passenger up by 4 percent YoY to RM257 and total ancillary revenue rising by 10 percent YoY, driven by higher passenger volumes and enhanced product offerings.
