FINANCIAL REVIEW
For the financial year ended 31 December
2017, AirAsia Berhad
3
recorded a 42%
increase in revenue from RM6.85 billion
in 2016 to RM9.71 billion. This was
contributed by a 10% year-on-year
increase in capacity and 11% increase in
number of guests carried to 39.1 million.
Revenue was further boosted by a 6%
increase in ancillary income per guest
to RM49, while our average fare was
maintained at RM176 given the planned
capacity expansion.
We achieved a full-year operating profit
of RM2.16 billion, 5% higher than RM2.07
billion in 2016. Despite a 5% reduction
in average stage length, our overall
cost per available seat kilometre (CASK)
including fuel increased by 16% to 13.13
sen as a result of the fuel price hike. CASK
excluding fuel stood at 8.29 sen, which
was 15% higher than in 2016 due to an
increase in staff cost, mainly that for pilots
and talent retention supporting the Group’s
continuous growth. Revenue per available
seat kilometre (RASK) increased by 7% to
15.13 sen. Profit was also boosted by 16%
growth in ancillary revenue year-on-year
to RM1.93 billion.
