About Air Asia

Air Asia, founded in 1993 and rebranded in 2001 under Tony Fernandes' leadership, has revolutionized low-cost air travel in Asia. Operating from its primary hub at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA2), the airline has grown into Asia's largest low-cost carrier by fleet size and destinations.

The airline currently operates a modern fleet of over 200 aircraft, predominantly consisting of Airbus A320-200s and A321neos. This standardized fleet helps maintain operational efficiency and lower maintenance costs. In 2023, Air Asia significantly expanded its fleet with the addition of 20 new A321neos, demonstrating its commitment to growth and fuel efficiency.

Air Asia's main operational hubs include KLIA2 (Malaysia), Don Mueang International Airport (Thailand), and Ninoy Aquino International Airport (Philippines). The airline has received numerous accolades, including the World's Best Low-Cost Airline at the Skytrax World Airline Awards for 11 consecutive years (2009-2019).
