KUALA LUMPUR: AirAsia Bhd has emerged as one of the top five most recognised and admired airlines in the Asia-Pacific region in a recent survey conducted by market insight company TNS. It was the only low-cost carrier to be listed among the “Top 10 Asia-Pacific Airlines”, beating other full-serviced carriers such as Qantas and Malaysia Airlines.
“To be the only low-cost carrier featured in the Top 10 Asia-Pacific Airlines category is a great achievement for AirAsia,” AirAsia group chief executive officer Datuk Seri Tony Fernandes said in a statement.
He added that AirAsia’s low-cost model enabled the airline to compete with premium airlines such as Singapore Airlines and Cathay Pacific.
Fernandes said AirAsia was expanding its market share and bought more aircraft when other airlines were cutting back on routes.
