Sepang, 28 August 2026 – Malaysian aviation and digital travel conglomerate Capital A Berhad posted robust operating profitability and substantial revenue expansion for the second quarter ended 30 June 2026 (2Q26), propelled by a powerful resurgence in cross-border international passenger travel across Southeast Asia, sustained passenger load factors exceeding 89%, and structural operational efficiencies achieved following the group’s formal exit from Practice Note 17 (PN17) status on Bursa Malaysia.

Group revenue for the second quarter expanded by 24.8% year-on-year to RM4.86 billion, reflecting sustained passenger seat capacity deployment, elevated ancillary revenue yields per passenger, and strong cargo throughput across its logistics subsidiary Teleport. Operating profit before depreciation and amortization reached RM685 million, marking a decisive operational turnaround that demonstrates the fundamental earning power of AirAsia’s streamlined regional low-cost carrier network.
