World Travel Awards Asia 2025 Affirms AirAsia as Low-Cost Airline of Choice

A double win powered by AirAsia Allstars’ customer focus and cabin crew excellence

AirAsia continues to dominate the skies, taking home two major honors at the World Travel Awards Asia and Oceania 2025 held in Hong Kong. The airline was named Asia’s Leading Low-Cost Airline for the 13th consecutive year, and Asia’s Leading Low-Cost Airline Cabin Crew for the 9th year running—a testament to the unwavering trust and loyalty of millions of travelers across the region.

Since its inception, AirAsia has flown nearly one billion guests, redefining the low-cost travel experience through its extensive network of over 130 destinations spanning Asia, Australia, and beyond. As part of its next chapter of growth, the airline is preparing to expand into new markets across the Middle East and Central Asia, strengthening its vision to become the world’s leading low-cost network carrier.

Driven by innovation, AirAsia continues to enhance the end-to-end travel journey through its digital ecosystem. The AirAsia MOVE app serves as a one-stop travel companion, enabling guests to book flights, manage itineraries, check in seamlessly, and enjoy contactless boarding. The introduction of Auto Visa Check further simplifies the process, while personalized in-flight experiences ensure that every journey feels connected, effortless, and memorable.

“This recognition belongs to the people at the heart of our growth—our guests and our 21,000-plus Allstars from 58 nationalities,” said Bo Lingam, Group CEO of AirAsia Aviation Group. “Together, we’ve built more than just an airline—we’ve created a movement that believes travel should be accessible to everyone. As we continue to grow and connect the world, our shared spirit of inclusivity, innovation, and care will always define who we are.”
