AirAsia has upgraded its mobile app with new features, smoother functionality and an improved interface.

The enhanced version is now available in 11 languages and it can be downloaded from the respective app stores of both iOS and Android devices.

Our all-new mobile app offers our guests everything they need right at their fingertips. There has been over 9 million downloads of the AirAsia mobile app on both iOS and Android platforms, and we hope that more people will discover the convenience of our new and improved mobile app.”

Among the new features of the AirAsia mobile app are the ‘Add to Calendar’ feature, which automatically links upcoming flights to the calendar; faster and simpler flight booking process, as well as improved mobile check-in and Manage My Booking experience where travellers can include various add-ons to their flight bookings.

Apart from that, guests can also now check flight status, obtain e-boarding pass (available for selected airports and flights), as well as view ongoing hotel deals conveniently through the new mobile app.

The 11 languages available for the mobile app are English, Bahasa Malaysia, Bahasa Indonesia, Traditional Chinese (Taiwan and Hong Kong), Simplified Chinese (China), Thai, Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese and Arabic.

AirAsia first introduced the mobile app back in 2010 and was among the first airlines in the region to develop its own app.

The airline has always been at the forefront of many other successfully implemented technological advances in the region such as internet booking, self-check-in via web, kiosks and mobile, self-tagging service as well as self-bag drop.
