AirAsia has successfully migrated 95% of their passengers to contactless self-check-in on their website or by using their Super App check-in facility.
This initiative was made mandatory at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2021 and continues to be an integral part of AirAsia’s efforts to further strengthen its Covid-19 mitigation plan through contactless operations. In addition, AirAsia has also introduced their FACES facial recognition boarding system, first trialled at Senai Airport in 2018 now available at klia2, to speed you through the departure process.
