For AirAsia, the recognition carries particular weight as a direct reflection of the trust and confidence from our guests, built up over 25 years of service. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

AirAsia\u2019s Co-Founder, Datuk Kamarudin Meranun, who accepted the award on behalf of AirAsia during the ceremony, said: \u201cWe started AirAsia 25 years ago with a simple mission: to make flying accessible to more people. The Skytrax recognition is a reflection of the trust travellers have placed in AirAsia, and that is something we never take for granted.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skytrax CEO Edward Plaisted added: \u201cWe congratulate AirAsia on this fabulous achievement at the 2026 World Airline Awards. This success, for the record seventeenth time, demonstrates the airline\u2019s dedication to providing quality, affordable travel options for its customers. This is a highly competitive and fast-growing market for low-cost airlines, and this award is a clear affirmation of AirAsia\u2019s success.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Skytrax World Airline Awards are based on the independent annual World Airline Survey, which reflects passenger votes from travellers worldwide. Skytrax independently conducts the survey and charges no entry or registration fees to airlines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
