AirAsia's preliminary operating statistics for August 2011

AirAsia Malaysia and AirAsia Indonesia saw reduction in load factor Y-o-Y due to the full impact on fasting month in August. Traditionally, fasting month is very quiet for travel for Malaysia and Indonesia, and this year the three day holiday fell right on the last day of August and into early September. Compared to last year same time, fasting month started mid-August and ended Mid-September hence the impact is less compared to this year.
