AirAsia has once again been crowned the World’s Best Low-Cost Airline at the Skytrax World Airline Awards 2024, marking an unprecedented 15th consecutive year of receiving this prestigious honor. This remarkable achievement is a testament to AirAsia’s unwavering commitment to innovation and value creation in the low-cost carrier industry.
The AirAsia journey began in 2001 when Tony Fernandes and Kamarudin Meranun acquired an ailing airline with just two aircraft and 200 employees. Since then, AirAsia has grown to become the fourth largest airline in Asia, boasting a fleet of over 200 aircraft and a workforce of 21,000 across Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, Cambodia, and more.
Driven by the mission to redefine air travel in the ASEAN region through affordability, inclusivity, and accessibility, AirAsia has been a key player in enhancing connectivity and revitalizing tourism across the region. The recent launch of AirAsia Cambodia, the group’s fifth airline, further underscores its growth and resilience, solidifying its position as a leader in the industry.
