Paul Carroll, Chief Commercial Officer of AirAsia Aviation Group, said: "Our FREE* Seats campaign has been ramped up, offering 10 million guaranteed seats to 130 destinations. This campaign has been launched at a time when tourism in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region is showing remarkable recovery and growth. APAC destinations are trending significantly, comprising half of the top 10 hotspots demonstrating the greatest momentum among travellers, measured by the change in share of tourism transactions over the past year. 

“We see a growing trend of travellers opting for longer vacations, with an increase of two days on average per trip, and prioritising experiences over purchases. This aligns perfectly with AirAsia’s commitment to offer affordable fares, frequent flights, and a diverse range of choices. We aim to encourage travellers to seize the booming opportunities across the region, providing greater value and enhancing their travel experience.”
