AirAsia

AirAsia, founded in 1993 and relaunched as a low-cost carrier in 2001 under Tony Fernandes' leadership, is headquartered in Sepang, Malaysia. The airline operates its primary hub at Kuala Lumpur International Airport Terminal 2, with additional hubs across Southeast Asia through affiliated carriers including Thai AirAsia, Indonesia AirAsia, Philippines AirAsia, and AirAsia Cambodia. AirAsia's fleet consists primarily of Airbus A320 and A321neo aircraft, making it one of the largest Airbus A320 family operators in the world. The airline offers a single economy class cabin with optional premium seats offering extra legroom, and generates ancillary revenue through baggage fees, meal purchases, seat selection, and various add-on products. AirAsia does not belong to any global airline alliance. The airline's Big Loyalty program provides points earning and redemption opportunities. AirAsia's long-haul affiliate, AirAsia X, operates Airbus A330neo aircraft on medium and long-haul routes to destinations in Asia, Oceania, and the Middle East. The AirAsia brand transformed air travel in Southeast Asia, making it affordable for millions of first-time flyers across the region with its famous tagline 'Now Everyone Can Fly.' Capital A, the parent company, has expanded beyond aviation into digital services including the AirAsia Superapp for travel and lifestyle bookings. AirAsia has won the Skytrax World's Best Low-Cost Airline award on multiple occasions, reflecting its combination of low fares and consistent service standards across its pan-Asian network.
