Among AirAsia’s ventures beyond its airline services, the company is looking to sell more airline tickets – for flights operated by other airlines.

In a few Tweets on March 21, AirAsia Group CEO Tony Fernandes stated that other airlines flights would be sold on its website – airasia.com – which AirAsia is looking to generate more revenue. To do this, the website will be formed under a new company under the group’s Red Beat Inc.











Fernandes and the AirAsia Group are looking at leveraging the airline’s website capabilities which is boasted as the strongest travel booking platform in the ASEAN region.

“Airasia .com is the strongest platform in asean. No OTA or lifestyle app can match us. With payment ,loyalty points, a huge database and unique and great content we will be a force,” Fernandes stated in a Tweet. He added that AirAsia would generate as much gross merchandise volume (GMV) as it currently does selling the airline’s flights.

Red Beat Inc. handles the digital services of the AirAsia group, which includes its ventures AirAsia BIG Loyalty, BigPay, travel360, ROKKI, Ourshop, RedCargo Logistics, RedBox Logistics, Touristly Travel (Vidi) and RedTix. The services provided by these ventures includes the company’s loyalty program, inflight wifi, and an event ticketing platform.
