Air Asia won awards for being the Best Low-Cost Airline in Asia for a month year in the row, and also as World’s Best Low-Cost Airline Premium Cabin 2017 at the 2017 Skytrax World Airline Awards in the Musee de l’Air et de l’Espace at Le Bourget Airport here.
AirAsia X Chairman Tan Sri Rafidah Aziz accepted the awards for AirAsia X.

AirAsia and AirAsia X have won a combined 25 Skytrax World Airline Awards since the awards were introduced in 2001.

“We take the world champion title seriously and we will strive to continue to improve for both our guests and shareholders. Over the last 15 years we have created a great brand and over the next 15, we want to move towards One AirAsia, a truly Asean community airline. We also want to recreate ourselves as a digital airline and use technology to drive more value.”
Hassan said, “It’s been an incredible 20 years, being part of AirAsia’s journey from a domestic Malaysian airline to the world’s best.”
