AirAsia boosts supply chain capabilities, agility with AC2 Group

KUCHING: AirAsia Group, the world’s best low-cost carrier for 11 consecutive years, is proud to announce its partnership with AC2 Group to install Blue Yonder’s warehouse management solution (WMS) to digitally transform its supply chain capabilities and operational agility as the airline continues to boost domestic capacity in line with strong demand.

AirAsia group head of supply chain, Siva Indran said, “We have achieved another significant milestone with the successful deployment of a digital supply chain across the Group.

“The Blue Yonder WMS uses data and advanced analytics to deliver greater efficiencies for the airline and enhanced benefits for our guests, such as providing the right products on specific flights based on passenger preferences.

“Additionally, efficiencies gained can be translated into more attractive deals onboard or for ordering home deliveries for example. We continue to innovate in order to be well prepared ahead of the expected global rebound in air travel in the near future.”

As AirAsia’s digital transformation continues to gather momentum, Siva said AirAsia wants to make fintech services inclusive throughout its travel and lifestyle ecosystem.

“We have always been a digital airline and this is one of many recent technological enhancements put in place over recent times to make booking and flying with AirAsia more seamless than ever,” he continued.

“We are pleased that the digital transformation of our supply chain network project has gone live successfully across all of our operational hubs in Asia. I want to thank our IT, operations, supply chain team and our supply chain partner, the AC2 Group, for their assistance to deploy this innovation across the group so smoothly.

“The digital optimisation of our supply chain network comes at a great time as we are focused on resuming operations to preCovid-19 levels in all of our key markets as soon as possible.”
