Annual Report 2020

The following flight procedures have been adopted for optimum efficiency: KUL Required Navigation Performance- Authorisation Required (RNP-AR) approach Uses the aircraft’s navigation functions, instead of ground-based equipment, for the shortest approach to land at KLIA. As of February 2021, one in five AirAsia Malaysia flights operating into KLIA uses these procedures, shaving off on average 2.25 minutes of flight time, resulting in savings per flight of 82kg of fuel and 258kg of carbon emissions. AirAsia was the first in Malaysia to operate RNP-AR; and Malaysia has the largest network of RNP-AR procedures in the world. MFM & SZX RNP-AR approach AirAsia Malaysia obtained approval from the relevant regulatory bodies to adopt the RNP- AR approach at Macau and Shenzhen airports. SafetyLine OptiClimb Reduces fuel consumption during climb, which is the most fuel-intensive phase of a flight. OptiClimb leverages digital data to accurately determine and analyse the aircraft's aerodynamic characteristics. One Pack Off during taxi When the cabin is already cool and conditions permit, pilots will use only one air conditioning pack (instead of two) during taxi, thus reducing fuel burn. Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) wastage tracking Reduces APU running hours, carbon emissions and noise. Aircraft hibernation SOP SOP was established due to Covid-19, to guide a collaborative decision making process in the selection of the most efficient aircraft to be returned to service post-hibernation. Operations Control Centre - Operational Decision Intelligence (OCC-ODIN) This is a decision support tool which streams payload data in real time in order to have the most accurate payload figures possible for flight planning purposes. By reducing the amount of fuel carried, fuel burn and emissions are minimised. Waste Management Our policy is to reduce as far as possible all waste generated by our operations, and to maximise our recycling rate. Waste generation was greatly reduced in 2020 because of reduced flight operations. Scheduled Waste Most of the scheduled waste produced relate to the engineering aspects of our flight operations and comprise spent lead acid batteries, electric and electronic assemblies, mercury and related components, fluorescent lamps, spent oils, contaminated soil or absorbents, containers, gloves, rags and filters. These are disposed of by licensed contractors in accordance with Environmental Quality Act 1974 and Environmental Quality (Scheduled Wastes) Regulations 2005. Types of Scheduled Waste 2019 2020 Liquid waste (litres) 31,907 19,060 Solid waste (tonnes) 41.5 24.09 Note: Scheduled waste from Malaysian operations only Maximising Flight Efficiency Reduced cart size No more in-flight magazine AirAsia WiFi Smart management of potable water levels 115 ANNUAL REPORT 2020
