The system, merlot.aero, optimizes AirAsia’s aircraft and crew utilization, making it possible for the airline to further improve its on-time performance and minimize costs, among others. The first part of this new system, which will manage the real time flight and service information to all of AirAsia’s social media outlets, guests, airports and support services, went live on schedule and is now in use across AirAsia’s global network.
