AirAsia continues its dominance in budget-friendly travel, earning the title of World's Best Low-Cost Airline for 2025. With a strong focus on affordability, digital innovations, and a seven-star safety rating, the airline is setting new benchmarks in the industry.
AirAsia has been crowned the World’s Best Low-Cost Airline for 2025 by Airline Ratings, reaffirming its dominance in budget-friendly air travel. This latest recognition highlights the airline’s commitment to affordability, innovation, and passenger satisfaction.
How AirAsia Secured the Top Spot
Airline Ratings evaluates airlines based on multiple factors, including ticket pricing, route network, onboard services, and safety standards. For 2025, the highest-ranking low-cost carriers not only offered budget-friendly fares but also provided extensive connectivity and enhanced in-flight services such as meals, drinks, and snacks.
To qualify for this recognition, airlines had to meet strict safety benchmarks, including a seven-star safety rating. AirAsia’s consistent ability to provide value-driven services while ensuring passenger safety played a pivotal role in earning this top position.
AirAsia’s Journey to Success
Founded in 2001 with just two aircraft operating domestic routes in Malaysia, AirAsia has since transformed the low-cost travel industry, flying over 800 million passengers and expanding to more than 130 destinations. The airline operates hubs in five key markets: Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Cambodia.
