AirAsia has spent the period of downtime in travel over the past two years further improving and revamping its flight procedures and processes. In the highest interests of safety and wellbeing of all its guests and employees, only fully-vaccinated employees will operate flights and be on-duty at airport terminals.

All AirAsia’s aircraft are properly maintained according to procedures set by the manufacturer. The in-house maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) company, Asia Digital Engineering, has over 20 years of experience providing services to AirAsia and is also  opening its doors to undertake aircraft engineering services for other airlines. Likewise, all pilots and cabin crew are regularly sent for mandatory refresher courses and ongoing retraining so that they are always on top of their job.

AirAsia has recently been awarded again for upholding the highest levels of safety and operational integrity with a 7/7 rating from the experts at airlineratings.com. This follows a similar rating bestowed on the airlines at the height of the pandemic in 2020.
