Hello airasia chat!

airasia super app users can now engage in real-time conversations, join like-minded communities, play games and much more!

We know that you're always looking for new ways to communicate.

This is why we’ve introduced airasia chat - a new real-time chat feature, making it easier to chat with airasia super app users, connect with like-minded communities, discover the best places to stay, eat and play.

A little background

Melissa Lim, Lead of airasia chat shares that the team aims to establish airasia chat as a one-stop multipurpose messaging platform for its users to continue enjoying a social and seamless chat experience. More exciting features which are on par with the best in the business will be announced soon. 

Sumit Ramchandani, CEO of airasia media group shares, “We’ve now become much more than an airline. From connecting people to destinations, we’ve evolved into a full-fledged digital, travel and lifestyle company with something for everyone, from food deliveries, fresh groceries, shopping and much more through the airasia super app. 

And the super app is now also more than just an ordering platform, but a space to let everyone connect with each other, join communities among like-minded travellers and foster social-based commerce - leading to the introduction of the airasia chat function in the app. 

The airasia chat function in the app, which is part of the AirAsia Media Group was created to leverage on the strength of the super app, and we are confident that it will continue to increase user engagement through the various open chat rooms and encourage app stickiness. From a user perspective, they will be able to get the big picture of everything across the airasia ecosystem through this function.”
