Capital A Financial has reported a second quarter 2025 profit after tax (PAT) of RM1.5 billion (US $355 million) on record revenue of RM4.8 billion (US $1.14 billion).
On Thursday (August 28, 2025), Capita A Berhad, parent company of AirAsia Aviation Group, reported their second quarter financial results for the period ending June 30, 2025. The Group reported a second quarter profit after tax (PAT) of RM1.5 billion (US $355 million) on record revenue of RM4.8 billion (US $1.14 billion). The company’s aviation revenue declined 3.0 percent versus the same period last year to RM4.5 billion (US $1.1 billion), larger attributable to weaker tourism. AirAsia Aviation Group’s Q2 cost per available seat kilometer declined 8.0 percent year-over-year to US $0.0450, driven by lower average fuel prices.
In Thursday’s announcement, AirAsia Aviation Group’s CEO, Bo Lingam, said,
“This quarter demonstrated the resilience of our aviation business. We offset slower demand in Thailand and lower fares from returning capacity with disciplined cost management and strong ancillary growth, supported by favourable fuel and forex trends. Load factor remains high as we bring capacity back online and align supply with market needs. Core short-haul demand held firm, boosted by the summer peak in North Asia, regional festivities and long weekends in Malaysia and other key markets. We are confident that this momentum will carry into the second half, with the fourth quarter historically being our strongest. Thailand remains an important market for us, and we intend to hold our market share, especially domestically, at 40% through targeted capacity redeployment into domestic and to India, as well as refined pricing strategies. We are expecting Thailand to see a rebound from the fourth quarter onwards.”
AirAsia Aviation Group’s load factor head steady at 82 percent during the second quarter on 8.0 percent more capacity compared to Q2 2024. The carrier’s average fare declined 4.0 percent to RM229 (US $54.20), while ancillary revenue increased 2.0 percent year-over-year to RM 51 (US $12.07). The Group added one aircraft to their fleet during the period, expanding their fleet to 226 aircraft, 206 of which are active.
