AirAsia Group Chief Commercial Officer Karen Chan said “AirAsia’s ‘FREE* Seats’ campaigns are a testimony to our confidence in continuous growth in 2023 and our commitment to providing the world’s best great value fares. We’ve witnessed a huge surge in travel demand in 2023 and we want to uphold our promise ‒ to make flying affordable and accessible to everyone. We have worked incredibly hard to push through the past few years and come out back on top. When we say size matters, it’s about having one of the largest fleets and widest network in the region, which enables us to pass on more savings to our guests. We aim to have our full fleet flying before the end of 2023. This is why we are able to put 10 million seats on sale with this Mega Sale to allow the public to plan ahead for their year-end and new year holidays at incredibly low fares – because AirAsia can.”
“Asean is undoubtedly our core market where our brand and foothold is strongest. Over the past year, we’ve observed a strong upward trend for many destinations including Singapore, Thailand and Indonesia ‒ all of which are tourist-favourite holiday spots. Our recent resumption of flights to China is also a hit with our guests as one of our largest markets. Since February, we’ve flown close to 20,000 guests to and from Malaysia and China and we expect to fly more than 600,0000 guests in the coming months as we add more services to meet strong growing demand,” she added.
