AirAsia has been voted as the “Best Budget Airline in Asia” for the third year in a row in a recent poll conducted by SmartTravelAsia.com. The ‘2008 Best in Travel Poll’ solicits votes from visitors to the website and readers’ choices regarding their favourite travel brands.
Ten regional low-cost carriers were finalists in the poll, and AirAsia received 30 per cent of the votes – the highest of any airline in the competition. In fact, the category winner beat its closest rival by a 12 per cent margin. Jetstar Asia was the second-place vote winner.
The category “Best Budget Airline in Asia” was first introduced in the awards in 2006, and AirAsia has been the top vote-getter since that time.
In its review of the awards, SmartTravelAsia.com stated: “The Best Budget Airline in Asia poll is a broad measure of the newer airlines’ ability to deliver not just low prices and cheap tickets, but also reliable schedules, decent service - and the occasional smile. Route network and access play a major role.”
The chief executive officer of the AirAsia Group, Dato’ Sri Tony Fernandes commented: “It is a great honour for us to receive this accolade, as it reflects on our commitment in providing guests with the best services. We strive hard to ensure that our guests derive utmost satisfaction when flying AirAsia, and being chosen as the Best Budget Airline will only make us strive even harder to deliver better services.”
