AirAsia Group CEO’s recent Instagram post about his well-spent evening at Indonesian President Jokowi Widodo’s palace in Bogor has really sparked plenty of interest amongst netizens.
The aviation tycoon’s visit appears to have left a “big clue” as to his next plans for Indonesia. Whether large or small, any expansion business plans are prone to provide greater mutual advantages to each parties, Indonesia and AirAsia.
In his Facebook post, Tony detailed his “big tip”
“A fantastic day with a fantastic man in a fantastic palace. I met President Jokowi. When he got here to power, he desired to develop tourism. We are currently the number one airline in attracting tourists to Indonesia.
We discussed plans for the following 4 years. How to actually take it to a different level. Lots of great ideas. I never thought that a small two-plane operation could help advance a national program. It’s a joy to see his easy, humble approach and what he can do. And he has a tremendous palace in Bogor.
Tony’s meeting with President Jokowi and AirAsia Indonesia CEO Dendy Kurniawan confirms what Tony announced earlier last November throughout the “AirAsia Loves Asean” initiatives launched along side the ASEAN Golden Jubilee celebrated in Manila, Philippines.
“I’m impressed by President Jokowi. He is a rare leader. He focuses on the event of tourism activities in his area and in addition takes care of its infrastructure,” he revealed.
Just before Tony’s visit to Bogor, Jakarta, it was reported that AirAsia Philippines had launched direct service between the Philippines and Indonesia with its inaugural flight on January 9 from Manila to Jakarta.
The airline has added the Indonesian capital to greater than 20 locations it serves.
While the direct flight from Manila to Jakarta is a boon for Filipino and Indonesian tourism, AirAsia Philippines expects Indonesians to consistently be among the many top 20 recent arrivals to the country. The recent connection will prove helpful for entrepreneurs and startup founders who profit from the connection of two business centers.
So can we expect more from Bogor?
Keep up the guessing game, Seasians!
