What is AirAsia?

AirAsia is a well-known budget airline based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. With 165 destinations in Asia and Australia, they have an extensive fleet of 246 aircraft and have been rated as the world’s best budget airline for the past 11 years by Skytrax. However, during the COVID-19 coronavirus, the airline is losing lots of money and needs a solution to earn money.

What is AirAsia’s brand-new food delivery service?

Earlier in May 2020, AirAsia launched a food delivery service locally, in Malaysia and they plan to expand overseas to Singapore in March 2021. The food delivery service delivers food from various restaurants to your doorstep. The airline is also planning to try and take a share of the fashion, fresh produce, and hotel industries soon, whilst also setting up new bases in other Southeast Asian countries.
