GEORGE TOWN: AirAsia Group menyasar untuk menjadi syarikat penghantaran makanan dan e-panggilan terbesar di Asia daripada hanya menawarkan penerbangan di rantau ini, susulan kejayaan pengambilalihan platform perkhidmatan penghantaran makanan dalam talian tempatan, Delivereat, baru-baru ini.

Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif (CEO) Tan Sri Tony Fernandes berkata beliau yakin 'airasia food' dan Super App boleh menjadi antara syarikat penghantaran makanan dan e-panggilan serta agensi pelancongan dalam talian terbesar di Asia.
"Ketika (saya memulakan) AirAsia, saya sentiasa fikir kalau kami boleh menjadi syarikat penerbangan terbesar, dan kami berjaya melakukannya. Kami adalah syarikat penerbangan keempat terbesar di Asia...Kami bermula dengan hanya dua pesawat, 200,000 penumpang, dan kini kami mencatatkan 19 juta penumpang.
  
"Jadi saya duduk dan fikir, bolehkah kami menjadi syarikat penghantaran makanan dan syarikat e-panggilan terbesar? Hari ini, secara rasminya saya berkata bahawa kami boleh...saya berpandangan, kami akan melakukannya dan (mengatasi) pesaing sedia ada sebagaimana kami mengatasi syarikat penerbangan lain," katanya pada sidang media di sini, pada Ahad.
Fernandes berkata beliau mahu mengembangkan perkhidmatan penuh aplikasi itu ke Thailand, Indonesia, Singapura dan Filipina dalam jangka pendek.

Terdahulu, beliau juga mengumumkan pelantikan Pengasas Delivereat, Tan Suan Sear sebagai Ketua Kumpulan airasia food di bawah AirAsia Super App serta Leong Shir Mein sebagai Ketua Perkhidmatan Atas Permintaan bagi cabang logistik AirAsia, Teleport.
Fernandes berkata AirAsia Group gembira atas perkongsian ini memandangkan ia menyokong strategi syarikat untuk terus memberi perkhidmatan kepada golongan yang kurang mendapat perkhidmatan dan menjadi syarikat penyampaian nilai terbaik di ASEAN.

Beliau turut mengatakan rasa kagum terhadap Delivereat, sebuah syarikat penghantaran tempatan yang mampu berdiri sendiri, mengekalkan kemampanan operasi syarikat dan menawarkan platform perniagaan dan pekerjaan kepada masyarakat.
Pada Ogos lepas, cabang logistik digital AirAsia, Teleport, menandatangani perjanjian untuk membeli 100 peratus kepentingan ekuiti dalam Delivereat pada AS$9.8 juta (AS$1=RM4.17) bagi mengukuhkan perkhidmatan penghantarannya di negara ini.

AirAsia ready to take on and surpass big players in food delivery
Predeep Nambiar 4 hrs ago

GEORGE TOWN: AirAsia today said it was ready to take on the food delivery giants and surpass them in the future with the acquisition of Penang start-up Delivereat and talents from the industry.

AirAsia CEO Tony Fernandes said the move harked back to when he and his partner founded the airline by taking over a fledgling airline and turned it around into a major player in the industry.

“We are now the fourth biggest airline in Asia, only surpassed by the Chinese airlines. We started with two planes and today we are serving 90 million passengers.

“So I sit back and think, can we become the biggest food delivery company and ride-hailing company? I think we can.

“I think we can outpace the major players out there the same way we outdid Malaysia Airlines, Singapore Airlines and Thai International,” he said at an event at the Straits Quay here today.

Fernandes had earlier announced Tan Suan Ser as the group head of “airasia food”.

Tan and his wife, Leong Shir Mein, are the founders of local Penang start-up, Delivereat, the state’s first online delivery platform, in 2012. Leong is now head of on-demand at AirAsia’s delivery arm, Teleport.

Last August, AirAsia bought over Delivereat for US$9.8 million (RM41 million).

Tan and Leong started Delivereat with just two riders and one restaurant in 2012 and have delivered over a million orders to date in Penang and Kuala Lumpur.

Fernandes said Delivereat’s story was impressive and similar to how AirAsia grew during its formative years.

He said the Penang start-up did not have any large funds but outdid more prominent food delivery players.

“It is very easy to be Grab or Foodpanda, when you have lots of money from shareholders, giving you billions of dollars.

“It is much harder to do what Leong and Tan did by creating a business against these giants. They were like AirAsia 20 years ago, fighting against the likes of MAS and SIA.

“I respect them for being in business for 12 years, surviving and making profits.”
