AirAsia has once again soared to new heights after being named World’s Best Low-Cost Airline at the 2025 Skytrax World Airline Awards—marking an unprecedented 16th consecutive win and cementing its legacy as the gold standard in affordable air travel.
The award, presented at the Paris Air Show 2025, is a testament to AirAsia’s unmatched network of over 130 destinations across ASEAN and beyond, offering unbeatable value and seamless connectivity through its multi-hub presence in Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Cambodia.
“Sixteen years later, this recognition remains just as meaningful,” said Datuk Kamarudin Meranun, Chairman of Capital A and Co-Founder of AirAsia. “We’ve stayed true to our dream of making flying accessible to all. This award belongs to our millions of passengers—and inspires us to keep soaring higher.”
Tony Fernandes, CEO of Capital A and Co-Founder of AirAsia, reflected emotionally on the milestone:
“From flying 200,000 guests in our first year to soon welcoming our one billionth passenger, this journey has been made possible by our loyal guests and tireless Allstars. This award is for them.”
Edward Plaisted, CEO of Skytrax, added:
“To win for a record 16th time in this fast-growing market is a reflection of AirAsia’s relentless focus on quality and value.”
Reaching New Horizons
Beyond recognition, AirAsia continues to reshape travel by connecting underserved and emerging destinations such as Kuala Lumpur–Labuan Bajo, Bangkok–Narathiwat, Manila–Tagbilaran, and Jakarta–Silangit—opening new corridors for tourism and economic opportunity. The airline is also expanding into Central Asia and the Middle East, reinforcing its ambition to become the first truly global low-cost network carrier.
AirAsia’s consistency in guest satisfaction is clear, having flown nearly 1 billion guests and earning high levels of brand loyalty across key markets. Ranked the 24th most valuable airline brand globally with a brand value of USD 1.93 billion, the airline continues to reflect strong regional roots and growing international influence.
