AirAsia Bhd will today sign a letter of intent with Shipbuilding
Industry Group with a view to establishing a joint venture low-cost
airline in Vietnam.
AirAsia, in a filing with Bursa Malaysia yesterday, said the
proposed partnership would focus on securing the licence to operate
a new Vietnamese airline that would serve domestic, regional and
international routes.
“The new airline will be built on the successful low-cost
model pioneered by AirAsia in this region,” it
said.
The statement said the airline would carry the name VINA
AIRASIA.
The new airline would serve domestic, regional and international
routes, and eventually build two distinct divisions to facilitate
short- and long-haul aviation, AirAsia said.
Vinashin will assist the JV company in securing grant of
governmental or regulatory approvals, concessions, permission,
licences, certificates and any other approvals to facilitate
operations of the new airline.
