…. We have seen a very high adoption of our self-check in services through our website, mobile app and airport kiosks over recent times. AirAsia Group COO Javed Malik
He added that the airline has invested heavily in these digital technologies, to promote and enhance operational efficiency and guest convenience. During the Covid-19 pandemic, these self-check in facilities have been crucial in minimising physical contact between passengers and staff.
Thousands of travellers on essential travel have experienced the contactless travel procedures in the past two months. In addition, the airline has stepped up safety and security measures.
AirAsia is one of the first airlines to enable the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test report screening feature on their website and AirAsia mobile app. You can now upload PCR reports or selected travel documents during check-in, even before arrival at the airport..
….. We encourage all guests to utilise these convenient self service facilities and features which are now available, to be fully adapted to the new way of travel.
