MANILA – UK-based air transport rating organization Skytrax has named AirAsia the "World’s Best Low-Cost Airline" in the Skytrax World Airline Awards 2025.

AirAsia co-founders Tony Fernandes and Datuk Kamarudin Meranun accepted the award at the Paris Air Show on Tuesday.

“This is a deeply emotional win for me. From flying just 200,000 guests in our first year to aiming to welcome our one billionth guest this year, this journey has been made possible by the unwavering support of our guests, and the tireless dedication of our incredible Allstars," Fernandes was quoted as saying.

The airline has been recognized by Skytrax for 16 consecutive years.

"This success for a record sixteenth time is a clear reflection of their dedication to providing quality, affordable travel options to customers. This is a most competitive and fast growing market for low cost airlines, and this award demonstrates AirAsia success," said Skytrax chief executive officer Edward Plaisted.

The Skytrax World Airline Awards 2025 online survey was conducted from September 2024 to May 2025, with the participation of over 100 customers of different nationalities.

Over 325 airlines were featured in the survey results.

AirAsia currently connects to over 130 destinations from its hubs in Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines, and Cambodia.

Meanwhile, to celebrate the 16th win, AirAsia Philippines is offering promo fares for as low as PHP116 one-way base fare to select domestic and international destinations.

The booking period runs from June 18 to July 3, for travel from July 2, 2025 to March 31, 2026.

The airline’s Philippine branch also said it is giving passengers a 16 percent discount on 20 kg. check-in baggage. (PNA)
